We’ve been asking Eagle readers what event at the Wichita Riverfest they miss the most. (It runs through Saturday, June 10.)

The top vote-getter was the hot air balloons, followed by the antique bathtub races. Votes were close between No. 3 and 4: the art and book fair and the block party.

Other missed events included water ski races, the Bedlam 500 Bed Races, the paper airplane contest, raft races and the sand castle contest.

Please take a moment to vote below in the final round. Voting closes June 10, and we’ll announce the final results after.

Thanks!
