			The 
			Friday evening street festival in downtown Lincoln was a huge 
			success this past weekend. The number of people there to spend the 
			evening was perhaps the largest it has ever been. Around the Logan 
			County Courthouse Square families gathered, friends visited, and 
			children played, renewing the sense of community in our hometown.

			The 
			Saturday night glow at Balloons Over 66 in Lincoln was well attended 
			by the community with hundreds if not a couple thousand folks coming 
			out to line the edges of the 300 block of Eighth Street. On the 
			grass 11 balloons put on a beautiful show for everyone.
