Balloon Guess winners
How many balloons does it take to fill a chieftain aircraft?
The staff at SkyCare set out to answer that very question during the Blueberry Festival and invited residents and visitors to town to submit a guess as to what that magic number might be throughout the week of the festival.
People were able to see pictures of the plane filling up with balloons throughout the week on SkyCare’s Instagram and Facebook pages.
Winners were announced live from the SkyCare base on August 7, where it was announced 547 balloons had filled the plane.
Prize winners, closest without going over, were:
1. Kayla Newman – 393
2. Marnie Merrifield – 365
3. Brent Darling – 316
