Preened, prepped,
ready and waiting. Let
the festivities begin! Perfect weather possibilities promise a
perfect fun-filled weekend here in Lincoln.
Balloonists began
arriving midweek. About
14 balloons launched from the Maple Ridge area for a
pre-festivities flight Thursday evening.
Many of the same
balloonists return year after year to fly the Lincoln skyways.
Pictured here is the balloon "Tentai," sponsored by
Lincoln Iron and Metal. Jerry
and Mary Ann (Ellis) Garcia of Albuquerque, N.M., own Tentai.
Mary Ann was born and raised in Lincoln. The Garcias come every year, usually by way of a Nebraska
stop first. While
here they visit with friends and family including Nick and Mary
Ann’s sister Diane (Ellis) Turner.
