Festival reaches for clouds and helps victims

It was a celebration of life Friday at the Fairfield County Airport when Knox County law enforcement officers who rescued a then 14-year-old Sarah Maynard in the basement of her home came together for a reunion with her during the third annual Fairfield County Hot Air Balloon Festival.

Former Sheriff Dave Barber took the occasion to go skydiving for the first time in his life.

“Last year, when I came down to the festival, Sarah told me that she and her family had skydived,” he said. “She told me, ‘Next year sheriff, you ought to do it with us.’
