A Warsaw man, Rick Wallen, was fishing on Winona Lake when he found a balloon floating on the lake at about 3 p.m.

The balloon had been sent that morning by a girl from the McCleary School in Aurora, Ill., as part of a contest to see how far each balloon would travel. The girl wrote that she had finished a reading contest at school and asked the person finding the balloon to return information on how far it had traveled.
