 The fourth annual Golf Ball Drop benefiting Independent Living Services will be at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 21 at the Centennial Valley Country Club driving range.
A plea that went out to the community asking for donations of used golf balls was answered most generously, said Becky Harris.
"We have more now than we've ever had. We are grateful," Harris said.
Hundreds of numbered golf balls will be dropped from the RE/MAX hot air balloon about 8 p.m. The person with the numbered ball closest to the hole will win a $2,000 gas card.
The festival atmosphere at the event will feature free 'burgers and 'dogs from First State Bank; popcorn, snow-cones and cotton candy from Jim Rhodes; drinks from Pepsi; music from Mark Kleczka; door prizes and a jump house, provided by the Farris Agency.
Tickets will be sold at the festival site until 10 minutes before the big drop. Tickets are $10 for one ball; $25 for three balls; and $50 for seven balls.
Proceeds from the sale of golf balls will go toward the purchase of a wheelchair-accessible van. The van from last year's successful Golf Ball Drop will be on display.
