illinoisfarmradio.com Local Farm Broadcaster Jared White took what he described as a "once in a lifetime" ride in the Touchstone Energy Hot Air Balloon, at the Farm Progress Show late Wednesday afternoon.  Jared took these pictures high above Decatur.

Jared did his first-ever interview in a hot air balloon, with John Petrin, who is a world-champion hot air balloon pilot:

Special thanks to Kevin Bernson of Shelby Electric Cooperative, for making the arrangements for Jared's ride.

Looks like he had fun!!!!
