True to this school year’s theme of “Dream Big,” a giant visitor stopped by Landrum’s O.P. Earle Elementary School Thursday. Representatives with the RE/MAX office in Tryon set up the realtor’s trademark hot air balloon on the school’s football field, and offered rides to faculty members that morning. Students lined the stands and sidelines to watch and cheer on the teachers and staff who hopped aboard and took to the skies.  (Photos by Ted Yoakum/Tryon Daily Bulletin)
