Anonymous
donation
to daycare
follows

balloon
prank
By, Susan Hundertmark
Expositor Editor
An anonymous
donation of $300 to the
Seaforth Cooperative
Children's Centre has
appeased the owner ,of a
$16,000 promotional
balloon that was damaged
during a prank on the
weekend of the Come
Home to the Country
festival.
Joanne Williamson,
who helped organize a
fundraiser for the daycare
involving tethered
balloon rides over the
festival weekend at the
Seaforth Public School
grounds, says the daycare
received the $300
donation a week after the
prank.
"The donation came
along with an anonymous
letter that said the
individuals who did the
prank had no intention of
taking. away from the
fundraising event. So,
Dave. Monson (owner of
the balloon) said he
decided not to press
charges," says
Williamson.
The balloon received
$750 in damages, half the
original estimate of
$1,500, but Monson was
not reimbursed for the
damages.
The 26' x 15' diameter
balloon, along with a
blower and lighting, were
found in a West William
Street backyard Sunday
morning after the
Skyworks Balloon
Company owner/operator
reported the balloon
missing to police.
It had been set up at
Seaforth's main
intersection to advertise
the fundraiser, where
Monson had thought it
