Saturday afternoon high wind
conditions made some of the planned events at the Lincoln Art &
Balloon Festival a little difficult to pull off, but not impossible.
On the square, there was supposed to be an
inflation of a hot air balloon. That didn't happen. But
balloonist Jim Phelan came up with the next best thing. With
a brightly colored tarp-like piece of material, lots of children had the
opportunity to play and imagine they were inside the orb of a hot
air balloon. Phelan also
brought the basket for his balloon Good Greeph, sponsored by Hicksgas
in Lincoln. He talked to folks about the basket and
demonstrated how hot air is blown into the balloon.
