Experience One of Central Illinois' Most Unique Summer Events From the moment you arrive, you'll find activities happening throughout the evening designed to entertain guests of all ages. Watch history in the making as Big Al's Lemon Shake-Ups attempts an American record, cool off during the exciting Foam & Flight foam party, and enjoy a variety of delicious offerings from local food trucks. Families can also get creative by making their own mini broom , inspired by Arcola's rich broomcorn heritage, or decorate miniature lawn mowers with the Future Lawn Rangers , celebrating another beloved local tradition. Take Flight with Tethered Hot Air Balloon Rides One of the evening's biggest attractions returns as Midwest Balloon Rides offers tethered hot air balloon rides from 6:00–8:00 p.m. Watching the colorful balloon rise above Green Mill Village is an incredible sight, and experiencing the ride yourself creates a memory unlike any other. Whether you're taking your first balloon ride or simply enjoying the view from the ground, it's an experience that captures the excitement of summer. Live Weather Coverage with Kevin Lighty Guests will also have the opportunity to experience WCIA's Weather on the Road as meteorologist Kevin Lighty broadcasts live throughout the evening.
