A hot air balloon from The Great Forest Park Balloon Race descended on a Glendale neighborhood Saturday, which provided residents with some unique fun.

A Glendale neighborhood was surprised Saturday evening when one of the hot air balloons from The Great Forest Park Balloon Race descended on Glen Elm Drive. 

The balloon landed around 6:15 p.m., according to Amy Kielbasa. Neighbors congregated around the balloon, and residents young and old pitched in to help put the balloon away. 

Thank you to Kielbasa for sharing this fun story and wonderful photos of the event.
