With
the August theme for Third Fridays Downtown Lincoln
being 'Adventure Night, the most popular items at
this month's downtown celebration were the rock
climbing wall, the laser tag, and of course, the
off-road vehicles! This month the downtown event may
have had some competition with the Illinois State
Fair, but none-the-less, those who came out had a
great time. Another big attraction this month were
the two balloon artists who made some amazing hats
and other balloon art for the kids and the kids at
heart. LDN will have additional coverage from
Third Fridays Downtown in the Monday edition.
