Spring-like conditions have forced a venue change for one of Vernon Winter Carnival’s most popular events.
The annual Balloon Glow is one of the kick-off events of the 64th Carnival this Friday, Feb. 2, and was slated to be held at Polson Park.
But Polson is too wet, and the Balloon Glow will now be hosted at Kal Tire Place and Kin Race Track.
The time remains the same, 4-6:30 p.m.
“This event remains weather dependent,” said Carnival executive director Kris Fuller.
There is free transit on Routes 1-9 Friday, and transfers will not be provided.
“Plan for parking, arrive early, come for the food trucks and stay for the balloons,” said Fuller.
