A Hot Air Balloon landed in Silver Oaks this morning.

An attempt was made to land on the playground at Bethlehem Lutheran Church and School but the winds wouldn’t cooperate.

The Pilot safely landed in Silver Oaks on Evergreen St.

Once the balloon was on the ground, the Pilot, Karalyn Mumm, gave tethered rides to a few of the children who gathered to watch.
