Acts of Excellence: Hunt for Happiness

For about a month the community of Vermillion has been on a very unique scavenger hunt, looking for intricate balloon sculptures. Tucked across Vermillion on the weekends, you might find Little Bo-Peep, Yoda, Olaf or even Charlie the Coyote. All in balloon form. “I want people to have something to smile about.,” said Michelle Turner, owner of Red Bird Balloons. “I would see these lovely messages of hope around the neighborhood that people wrote in chalk and I thought I want to do something like that, that would bring a smile to people’s faces.”
