City announces annual art & balloon fest giveaway

[August 16, 2012]  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 will once again conduct a giveaway in conjunction with the annual art and balloon fest.

As a prime sponsor of the festival, the city of Lincoln receives several benefits and complimentary items. As it has done for the past three years, the city will share some of 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.

Local citizens can register for the giveaway at the city clerk's office at City Hall. Everyone may enter as often as they like, but only one prize package will be awarded for any household.

Winners must be residents of Lincoln. The contest is not open to city of Lincoln employees, elected officials, appointed officials or their immediate households.

Five prize packages awarded. Each prize package will include:

• Two admission wristbands for weekend admission to the Logan County Airport.

• Two 2012 art and balloon fest collector pins.

• Coupons for two art and balloon fest T-shirts.

The winners' names will be pulled from the entries in a random drawing at City Hall on Wednesday. Winners will be notified immediately thereafter and can pick up their prize packages at City Hall on Aug. 23 or 24.
