The
annual Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival doesn't
just happen overnight. The event takes

volunteers to keep everything running smoothly
throughout the festival. This year the
chamber is sending out an urgent call for
volunteers. Read the article below to find
out how you can help keep this long-standing
tradition alive in Lincoln and Logan County.
