| Flying Pancakes Coming To Middletown Ballon Festival |
| Thursday, July 16, 2009 8:07:55 AM - Middletown Ohio |
From: Ann Mort
Pancakes will be flying through the air along with the hot air balloons at this years’ MidFirst Ohio Challenge Hot Air Balloon Festival. Pre-sale tickets are now available at Broadway News – Main St and First Ave in downtown Middletown.
Chris Cakes will be serving an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast from 7 to 11 am for $5 per person in Smith Park while the balloons fly overhead. On Saturday, July 18. (Balloons will probably fly over about 7-9 am – weather permitting.)
Chris Cakes is famous for throwing pancakes at the breakfast crowd. Catch your breakfast as it flies past. If you miss the first one, he will gladly zing another your way and another until you are full. Chris Cakes is in the Guinness World Books of Records as the “Fastest Flipper” and was featured on the Food Channel. He has also served four Presidents. There is no word on which President caught the most pancakes.
The Saturday morning balloon flight will be enhanced with several additional activities at the Smith Park/Middletown Regional Airport site. Thirty-three balloons will attempt to reach a target at the festival site as a part of their competition as the Little Bee special shape balloons will be flying out of the park.
Besides the airborne breakfast and balloon activity, there will be tethered balloon rides available at $10 adults, $5 kids – 7-9am.
The Mega Arena will be up and running all day Saturday allowing participants to play a version of paintball. Admission to the Mega Arena is $10 per person. Each player receives 100 or more rubber balls as ammunition (less mess than paint) and the game is on.
