The annual National Balloon Classic Sky Parade is one week away, as dozens of balloons will fly over the square to help promote the National Balloon Classic later in the month. Local shops, businesses, and restaurants will have special deals and sales for merchandise, with the KNIA Big Red Radio on the square playing music and making announcements of balloons flying over. The Sky Parade will be on July 13th from 5-8pm, with the National Balloon Classic beginning July 28th.
