Stacey Thorson, winner of the hot air balloon ride donated
by RE/MAX Partners Realty of Grinnell, looked nervous as the balloon began to
lift off from the empty field on the morning of September 26. While heights are
not everyone’s cup of tea, the view likely usurped any unsettled feelings. The
balloon lifted off and landed safely, thanks to the balloon support team
comprised of RE/MAX and GRMC volunteers.
The hot air balloon ride was an early kick-off to this
year’s Blue Jean Ball festivities. Raffle tickets for the event were sold as a
precursor to the Blue Jean Ball. The hot air balloon raffle raised $2,000
toward the emergency department project and set the stage for an
adventure-filled evening at the Blue Jean Ball!
The Blue Jean Ball will start with a silent auction at 7:30
p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17. A live auction will follow at 8:30 p.m. with music from
The Dweebs beginning at 9 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at The Glass Gift Box or
at www.grmc.us. Make plans to move and groove in your favorite
denim blues! Tickets are $25 per person, or $45 per couple. Tickets at the door
will cost $30 per person, so don’t wait until it’s too late!
