[August 16, 2011]  Lincoln Mayor Keith Snyder and 5th Ward Alderman Jeff Hoinacki, the city council's coordinator for the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival, have announced that the city will once again conduct a giveaway in conjunction with the annual 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 two years, the city will share those benefits with the citizens and taxpayers of Lincoln -- those who underwrite the cost of the city's sponsorship and every other activity of city government.

Local citizens can register for the giveaway at City Hall, the Lincoln Public Library and the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce office. Everyone may enter as often as they like, but there will be only one prize awarded per household.

Winners must be residents of Lincoln and must be at least 18 years old to accept the balloon ride and no more than 12 years old to accept the kids' prizes. The contest is not open to city of Lincoln employees, elected officials, appointed officials or their immediate households.

Listed below are the prize packages available:

One grand prize winner will receive:

  • A balloon ride on festival weekend (weather permitting, as determined by pilot).

  • Two admission wristbands for the Logan County Airport.

  • Two Art & Balloon Festival collector pins.

  • An Art & Balloon Festival T-shirt.

One first-prize winner will receive:

  • $100 in Art Bucks to spend at the art fair.

  • Two admission wristbands.

  • Two collector pins.

  • A festival T-shirt.

Two second-prize winners will receive:

  • $50 in Art Bucks to spend at the art fair.

  • Two admission wristbands.

  • Two collector pins.

  • A festival T-shirt.

  • A festival T-shirt.

The winners' names will be pulled from the entries in a random drawing conducted in the mayor's office at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 23. Winners will be notified immediately thereafter and can pick up their prize packages at City Hall.
