City Announces Annual Art & Balloon Festival Giveaway

[August 14, 2014]  LINCOLN - Lincoln Mayor Keith Snyder and 4th Ward Alderman Jeff Hoinacki, the City Council’s coordinator for the Lincoln Art and Balloon Festival, have announced that the City of Lincoln will once again be conducting a giveaway in conjunction with the annual Art and Balloon Festival.

As a Prime Sponsor of the Festival the City of Lincoln receives several benefits and complimentary items. As it has done for the past five years, 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.

Local citizens can register for the giveaway at one of three locations: the Lincoln Public Library (725 Pekin St.), the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce Office (1555 5th St.), or the City Clerk’s office at City Hall (700 Broadway). Everyone may enter as often as they like, but there will be only one prize package awarded per household.
 

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

There will be four prize packages awarded. Each prize package will include:

• Two admission wristbands for weekend admission to the Logan County Airport
   
• Two 2014 Art & Balloon Festival collector pins

• Coupons for two Art & Balloon festival t-shirts
   
• $50 in Arts Bucks that can be spent at the Art Festival in Latham Park

The winners’ names will be pulled from the entries in a random drawing conducted at City Hall on Wednesday, August 2oth. Winners will be notified immediately thereafter and can pick up their prize packages at City Hall on Thursday, August 21st, or Friday, August 22nd.
