After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships, working for The Royal Obsession and Anatomie clothing. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as Parents & Kids Magazine and Girl Meets Strong. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
There’s a new event that involves hot air balloons in Mississippi – and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be a huge hit. A two-day affair, it’s got all the makings of a fun-filled event: food, music, rides, activities, artwork, and, of course, hot air balloons.
Up, up, and away…to the RISE Hattiesburg Hot Air Balloon Festival in Mississippi!
During the fest, the grounds of the multi-purpose center will transform into a fun-filled destination - complete with food trucks, live music, rides, and a petting zoo.
There will be nearly just as much to see inside the multi-purpose center, which is where the fest’s art auction will take place. It’s also where vendors will set up shop.
One of the best things about this event is that it’s all for a good cause. It’s being put on by RISE, a faith-based, non-profit.
Should you decide to attend the fest, consider staying in Hattiesburg overnight. An array of local hotels are offering a discounted rate for fest guests.
