The balloons gathered, and as
thousands watched, one of the best glows one can remember ended the
balloon portion of the evening. Unfortunately the airport lost power,
delaying the remainder of the evening's events. In pictures 5 and
6 you can see how the quick thinking of airport coordinator Patrick
Doolin, who moved one of the parking lot stanchions of
generator-powered lights to the south end of the airport, really made
a difference. When the generator brought in by the Lincoln Rural
Fire Protection District kicked in, the crowd of music enthusiasts was given a
rousing performance by the Brat Pack band.
