Cool off with a water balloon fight at Lowe Mill

Cool off with a water balloon fight at Lowe Mill

Looking for a fun way to cool off in this oppressive heat this weekend? K.I.D. Artist Collective at Lowe Mill is having a water balloon fight Saturday!

The balloon fight was the brainchild of two of the founders of K.I.D. - Max Mandell and Perry Taylor.  Last year about 90 people participated using 3,500 balloons. To beat last year's event, K.I.D is going to incorporate more balloons and a few more unusual elements.

Saturday there will be 10,000 water balloons. I hate to think how sore someone's fingers are going to be after tying all those knots!
