The Shelby County Balloon Fest is Saturday, July 8th This year, the event will feature an airplane fly-in and a car show. Scott Jefson is the Shelby County Airport Manager and owns the Shelby County Aviation Club.
Jefson is looking forward to the new additions to the Balloon Fest and to seeing the local community experience the hard work that goes into these events.
The aviation community is not comprehensive of the entire community but Jefson wants these family-friendly events to be accessible to anyone. Jefson notes that the Shelby County Airport contributes to the community in many ways.
The Flying Club is a group that was started by Scott Jefson to get trained pilots back in the air for their own reasons, without paying for their own plane.
There is much more to the Shelby County Airport that local citizens will be able to witness during this year's Balloon Fest.
The Shelby County Balloon Fest will be Saturday, July 8th from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Scott Jefson appeared on the WTIM Morning Show in Shelbyville as a guest.
