Blowing up at balloons

A NEW Jersey farmer is suing the hosts of an annual hot air balloon festival, claiming the balloons are scaring her livestock.

Lisa Van Horn claims the hot air balloons launched at the Warren County Farmers’ Fair have flown low or even landed on her White Township farm.

She says the sights and sounds scare the animals and in one incident started a stampede that killed a calf.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and stop flights over her farm.
