The Shelbyville Area had a huge weekend. After the parade ended at 11, Shelbyville had an afternoon full of events for Scarecrow Daze and Balloon Fest. 

Balloon Fest chair Kevin Bernson says that the timing works out nicely having the Scarecrow Daze and Balloon Fest on the same weekend.

Bernson says that Balloon Fest presents the Shelbyville community with a big aviation day that features plenty of events to attend.

Lake Shelbyville Office of Tourism Director Freddie Fry says that there’s a ton of history to the balloon fest. 

Scarecrow Daze and Balloon Fest have both taken place over Columbus Day weekend in recent years.
