[August 10, 2010]  Lincoln Mayor Keith Snyder and 5th Ward Alderman Jeff Hoinacki, the city council's coordinator for the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival, have announced that the city of Lincoln will once again be conducting a giveaway in conjunction with the annual festival.

InsuranceAs a prime sponsor of the festival, the city of Lincoln receives several benefits and complimentary items. As it did last year, the city will share those benefits with the citizens and taxpayers of Lincoln -- those who underwrite the cost of city's sponsorship and every other activity of city government.

In conjunction with Wally Balloons LLC, the city is pleased to offer new prize packages this year just for the kids. These special prize packages include an official Wally clownfish balloon hat, other special Wally memorabilia, two admission wristbands to the Logan County Airport for the weekend, an art and balloon fest collector pin and a festival T-shirt. Kids can learn more about Wally by checking out www.wallyballoons.com.

Nursing Homes

Local citizens can register for the giveaway at City Hall, the Lincoln Public Library and the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce office. Everyone may enter as often as they like, but only one prize can be awarded per household.

Winners must be residents of Lincoln and must be at least 18 years old to accept the balloon ride, at least 21 years old to accept Art of Wine passes and no more than 12 years old to accept the kids' prizes. The contest is not open to city of Lincoln employees, elected officials, appointed officials or their immediate households.
