7/10/13 - A Livingston County man's attempt to set a record for blowing up balloons and turning them into sculptures is scheduled to take place at a festival this week. The "Taste of Brighton" takes place Friday and Saturday and starting at 5pm Friday, Tim Thurmond plans to attempt to reclaim his balloon-blowing, sculpture-making crown. He held the record for about nine years, but that was surpassed this year. This time he wants to use more than 6,700 balloons in 24 hours. The 32-year-old from Brighton Township will be blowing up and sculpting balloons next to the Oh My Lolli! candy shop. The festival replaces Summerfest and has been revamped to showcase Brighton's restaurants and shops as well entertainment. (JK)
