Max Mitchell (on left) poses for a picture with Mayor Keith Snyder. Mitchell is the pilot of the balloon Travelin Lite and has been to every balloon fest since the festival’s beginning 22 years ago. He has also had the same sponsor for all those years: Logan County Title Co. On Friday the mayor declared Aug. 27 as Max Mitchell Day in the city of Lincoln in honor of Mitchell’s longtime dedication to the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival.
