Activities continue to be added up until the last minute to DeSoto Parish’s First Annual Balloons Over DeSoto Event to be held on May 8, 9 and 10. DeSoto Parish residents as well as the surrounding area will have the opportunity to be a part of something historic at the first ever hot air balloon show. The event will be filled with family fun for an entire weekend, and is sponsored by the DeSoto Parish Police Jury and DeSoto Parish Tourism Board. If you’ve ever heard the old 1960’s hit, “Would You Like to Ride in My Beautiful Balloon,” you will have a chance to do just that. For a fee, both tethered and untethered balloon rides, will be offered on during the weekend.
