Saturday night, the balloon portion of the Balloons Ove 66 Weekend came to a close with a hot air glow event held at each of the four launch sites in Lincoln.

The glow is an extraordinary event for guests as it gives them a new perspective on the beauty of a hot air balloon. While balloons are beautiful in the air floating in a cloudless sky, that beauty intensifies when the globes are glowing from the fire inside.
