The Casey J. Kohlmeier Foundation will be holding a balloon release at 5:30 p.m. Friday, October 30, at Pontiac’s Southside Cemetery.

The balloon launch will mark the two year anniversary of the accident that took the lives of Kohlmeier and his faithful K9 Partner, Draco.

This event is open to anyone who would like to participate. Balloons will be supplied, but people may bring their own if they choose to do so.

Following the balloon release, participants are invited to DeLong’s Casual Dining for dinner.
