The giant red ball that has appeared on the Southside of Bethlehem is hard enough for humans to resist. Imagine what our friend Elvis, a K9 SAR dog, thought when he came across it. Elvis and his handler Susan set out to find the 250-pound giant red ball, and they found it atop the Hoover-Mason Trestle at SteelStacks. RedBall has been making its way around Southside Bethlehem this week as a part of the Southside Arts Festival http://www.steelstacks.org/festivals/southside-arts-music-festival/

This certainly was an easy find for Susan and Elvis who happen to be certified by the American Mantrailing, Police, and Work Dog Association. The two are also a valuable part of WolfPack Search and Recovery. WPSAR is a non-profit, volunteer organization that provides search and recovery resources to public safety agencies in Pennsylvania & surrounding areas. They also use their online presence to help bring attention to missing persons cases. https://wolfpacksr.com/.

If you want to find the RedBall this weekend you do not need to find your own four-legged hero, you will be able to see the giant red ball at the following locations:

April 20 – Hoover-Mason Trestle at SteelStacks

April 21 – 5th Floor Bridge between Gateway at Greenway building & S. New St. Parking Garage

April 22 – National Museum of Industrial History, 602 E. 2nd St.
