It
may be hard to believe, but it is already that
time of year. Balloons Over Route 66 is just ONE
WEEK away. Next Friday evening, weather
permitting, will be the first launch of the 2021
event. As it was last year, there will be
various launch sites throughout the community in
and surrounding Lincoln.
Wagz, piloted by Dean Carlton, is a fan favorite
at Balloons Over Route 66. The balloon will
launch on Friday and Saturday evenings from the
Kevin and Peggy Bateman residence, 455 Campus
View Drive in Lincoln.
What is different this year is the plan for the
Saturday night glow. All 32 hot air balloons are
scheduled to glow in one place, the Lincoln Park
District. |
