Lincoln
and Logan County have a long-standing love affair with
hot air balloons. Each time that we see one in the
skies, it takes our breath away just a little bit. What
is impressive about these giant orbs of color is that
the balloons take on a different personality when the
night falls. For example, Greg Saul's Good and Plenty
went aloft Saturday evening from Apex Park in Lincoln
and glowed on Saturday night at the Lincoln Park
District. Two pictures of the balloon in a similar stage
of inflation, one taken in the afternoon and one taken
at night, show the dramatic change between daylight and
dark.

The
Balloons Over 66 weekend included a 5K run/walk starting
early Saturday morning at the Lincoln Park District.
Runners and walkers followed a marked course that led
them away from the park district, through residential
parts of town that included the challenge of hills
ending at Scully Park. The timed race saw some
remarkable finishes even though it was pretty warm, even
in the earliest part of the day.
Finishing first among the men in the event was Clint
Wombles with a time of 20:02.41. Among the ladies
competing, Brittney Schmidgall came in first with a time
of 23:39.81. Schmidgall finished seventh overall.
