Honored balloonists Jim and Nancy Ireland cut the ribbon at the Logan County Airport on Thursday evening, kicking off pre-celebration of the 40th Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival.

On hand to welcome everyone were Lincoln Mayor Keith Snyder; Andi Hake, executive director of the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce; Leslie Hoefle, interim director of the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County; and chamber ambassadors.

Happy that the moment to begin had come, Hake said, "It's always a long road to get here.”

Hoefle said, "Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County is proud to be a sponsor of the most spectacular event in all of Logan County."
