After a lovely day in downtown Lincoln and a great parade, crowds gathered Friday evening at the Logan County Airport for the first evening balloon launch and glow of this year's Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival. It was a great night with mild temperatures, a gentle though sometimes brisk breeze and lots of beautiful balloons.
