The Wausau area offers many wonderful family events throughout the summer and fall. One of these great events is the popular Rib and Balloon Fest. Thousands of people arrive at the local airport to watch the light show, enjoy amazing food, visit gift and food vendors, and of course, check out the many colorful hot-air balloons. This year’s Rib and Balloon Fest brought in a record number for attendance; roughly 30,000 people came out to enjoy the light show.

Globe University – Wausau‘s ABC (pi) Club volunteered to help at this event. Katie Palesh, president of the club, said “It was an amazing event; food, music, fireworks, and hot-air balloons, what’s not to like? It was the first time that the ABC (pi) Club helped out at this event, but it won’t be the last!”
