WMUK s Leona Larson reports on the opening of the annual Battle Creek Field of Flight Airshow and Balloon Festival
Hundreds of people came out to the Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field on Wednesday, June 30, for the first night of the five-day event that runs through July 4.
Until 2020, four-year-old Jeffrey, his older brother Tommy, and their cousin Alaina, had never missed the annual event. They were excited to be back this summer.
“Would you’d be brave enough to shoot yourself out of a cannon?,” asked Jeffrey’s grandmother, after Chachi “The Rocketman” Valencia, the “Human Cannonball,” was shot from a cannon.
