World Of Wellesley Writers Fly High

Sun Life Financial gave World of Wellesley essay writers - those 14 judged the most effective in June - a trip in a hot air balloon this morning. 

For most, it was their first time ever in a hot air balloon- tethered securely to the ground and a truck. About 12 of the writers were able to make the event. The kids climbed aboard, often with their parents, and spent a few minutes apiece floating above the lot at One Sun Life Executive Park off of Rte. 9. 

Editor's note: Check back soon for more photos, a longer story, and video from the event.
