Scam Description

This event appeared on Facebook. It allowed us to get entrance to a hot air balloon festival. We had to pay $25 per car and $30 each person for a tethered ride in the ballon. Event was cancelled once, and moved a month later. When arriving to the venue, it was just a small house. Then, we were told to drive 10 mins. away from original location, and there was an event farm. Owner was desperately trying to explain there was no event in his farm.
