I L Mack Parson presents Winfred Hallman with $50 U.S. Savings Bond. Crafted With Pride Balloon Returned On Oct. 19, 1986, several hundred Crafted With Pride balloons were released as the Bailey Plant Open House tours began. Attached to each helium filled balloon was a “Crafted With Pride” hangtag with instructions that the person finding and re turning the balloon from the farthest point by Nov. 19 would receive a $50 U.S. Gov ernment Savings Bond. Clinton Mills received balloons which were found in Edgefield, Greenwood and Saluda counties. The winning balloon was found 14 miles south of Saluda by Winfred D. Hallman, an electronics control specialist from Bates- burg, while deer hunting on Nov. 9, 1986. According to Hallman, “I was in a heavily wooded area deer hunting when I saw a “Crafted With Pride” label on the ground. As an avid hunter and outdoors person, I im mediately picked it up because I don’t like litter in the woods, and to some extent, I was afraid someone else might be in the woods also. “Upon examination, I read the message and then returned it to Clinton Mills. "Over the years, I've often read about peo ple finding messages in floating bottles or attached to balloons, but I never had any idea I’d be so lucky.” Hallman, 30, immediately identified the Crafted With Pride label with the textile in dustry’s “Made in USA” activities. “My wife works for the Saluda Chamber of Commerce, and she was very familiar with the textile logo,” he added.
