Friday was a perfect day for a
parade, and people turned out to participate and watch as the
annual Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival pilots parade passed through
town. The route is quite
long, beginning on Wyatt Avenue in town and ending at the Logan
County Airport. Along the way, kids and their parents turned
out -- kids with bags in hand, ready to collect tons of candy.
There were nearly 50 entries in this year's
parade, including several of the balloon pilots, many of the
sponsors who support the annual festival and some folks who just
enjoy being in a parade.
This year the grand marshal was Dan Tackett,
who recently retired from a 44-year career with the Lincoln Courier. Also participating in this year's event were Miss Logan County Fair Dani Juilfs and Little Miss Logan County Karson Mott.
