The
official opening of the Balloons Over 66 weekend began
Friday evening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony outside
the front entrance to the Comfort Inn. Event originator
Seth Goodman was joined by Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch,
Logan County Tourism Director Alice Roate, 2022 Logan
County Fair Royalty Queen Emma Stoltzenburg, Junior Miss
Isabella Pollice and Little Miss Luci Bobell, motel
staff, and more than 30 hot air balloon pilots for the
brief ceremony. Goodman and Welch offered brief comments
before the cutting. Then, Roate and Goodman snipped the
ribbon at this year's event.

Friday
was a great launch for the 2022 Balloons over 66.
Weather was perfect for balloons to launch, dogs leaped
into a pool of water as crowds cheered, downtown was
filled with food trucks, and an awesome band 'Big Sun'
had the crowds rocking to old favorites and some foot
thumpin' blues. Quieter events included kid games by
Open Arms Fellowship in Latham Park and Bags
competition.
Everything repeats on Saturday along with the KCB Up in
Smoke competition, Art Fair, Car Show and food vendors
on the square; and the Oasis Senior Center on the city's
west side, hosts a Craft Fair. The two day event
concludes on Saturday evening with a downtown festival
of food, fun and live music beginning at 3 p.m.. It's
the perfect time to get out and enjoy seeing old friends
or make new ones. [See the schedule and places to go
