We asked Eagle readers what event at the Wichita Riverfest they missed the most. The annual party by the river just ended this past weekend.

More than 170 votes were submitted in the final round, with hot air balloons winning by only three votes. Antique bathtub races was second.

Other missed events that were suggested by Eagle readers included the art and book fair, the block party, water ski races, the Bedlam 500 Bed Races, the paper airplane contest, raft races and the sand castle contest.

Thanks for participating!
