Buckley Chamber of Commerce Balloon Journey

On the afternoon of Saturday, June 23 during the Buckley Log Show Street Fair, 3 helium balloons got away from the Chamber of Commerce Booth.  As we watched them fly into the sky, we wondered where they might land.  Perhaps in the middle school parking lot, perhaps as far as Rainier School or perhaps they might even get as far away as Mt. Peak. . . or perhaps they would fly to the other side of Mt. Rainier, cross over rivers, lakes, fields, and an international border!

It seems our balloons had the ride of their life.  They landed in Winfield, British Columbia, Canada.  Hmm. . .thought all air travel from US  into Canada now requires passports.  The Chamber recently received this e-mail from those who found our Buckley Chamber of Commerce balloons.

"Hello,
 

My name is Liane and I am sending you this email and picture as we found this quite astonishing.

 

We live in Winfield BC, which is located between Kelowna and Vernon in the Okanogan Valley.

 

This morning when my father went out to the garden he found 3 balloons nestled in the lettuce with the Buckley Chamber of Commerce on them. At first we thought an event had occurred near us and laughed that they landed in our garden. However we did not recall any place here called Buckley. I went to the computer and checked Google to see where you are and to our surprise not only were you not in the immediate area but in another country. As I checked the website I noticed you are having an event this weekend - I believe the Loggers Rodeo. We are pretty amazed that these balloons perhaps launched yesterday made it to our garden by this morning.
 

We could not resist sending the picture to you and hope you will get a kick out of it as well.

 

Best regards from Winfield BC, Canada
