Great Wellsville Hot Air Balloon Rally returns after two-year hiatus BY KATHRYN ROSS
WELLSVILLE — The Great Wellsville Hot Air Balloon Rally will lift-off at 6:30 p.m. Friday and so far, everything looks good. Balloon Rally Chairman Brad Thompson is keeping an eye on the weather, noting that it looks all clear for the upcoming weekend event.
“You never know. It is early in the week and the weather can change quickly, but it looks OK at this time,” he said. He went on to warn that while the free event will start at 6:30 p.m. inside the entrance to Island Park on the Lagoon Baseball fields, the unique mass launch is often delayed due to wind. “The wind kicks up
about that time every evening and we have to wait for it to calm down before the balloons can safely launch,” he said. He also noted that the 6:30 a.m. launches are also often delayed due to fog, as the rally site is on the banks of the Genesee River. But it will be decided by Balloon Meister Balloon Rally continued on PAGE 5

➡Scholarship continued from PAGE 1 the county fair through our leasing program and will now have the opportunity to show his own registered Guernsey calf. The Calf Scholarship Award Program is
sponsored by the New York State Guernsey Breeders Association for the purpose of encouraging those who do not presently own Guernseys to become involved with the Guernsey Breed. The application process included writing an essay describing what the award would mean to him, how he would raise and care for the animal and goals for the future. In addition, award recipients are required to exhibit their animal in at least one local fair and the New York State Fair as part of the terms of accepting the calf award. Eshelman has grown through the experiences of his 4-H projects not only as a caretaker of quality animals but by learning as much
as he can about the farming industry. His activities in 4-H have aided his development of public speaking and marketing abilities that have helped him share his knowledge with others and establish his own farm business selling farm-raised meat, eggs and baked goods through local Farmers
Markets. Eshelman takes extreme pride in working with his animals from the moment they are within his care. Stop by the dairy barn to view his calf and the other youth exhibitor at the Allegany Country Fair, July 18-23. The youth show begins Wednesday, July 20.
