Saturday at the Balloons Over 66 weekend, there were a lot of really fun things to do including watching the early morning launches, brief glow events on Saturday evening, all kinds of opportunities for foodies, shopping opportunities for bargain hunters and much more.

But, there were also some serious competitions in the works throughout the day, starting with the annual Balloons Over 66 5K race hosted by the Lincoln Park District. The winner of that event in the female division was Kenzie Chalifoux. In the men’s division it was Chase Dilworth.
At the mid-day sessions of Dock Dogs a Dutch shepherd named Lilith won the furthest overall jumping 20-feet and two inches. Lilith’s owner said that they are from Kentucky and he is a fan of Route 66, but had never been to the Mother Road in Illinois. When he saw that Dock Dogs was going to be in Lincoln and that Route 66 is also in Lincoln and Logan County, it was a double attraction that made it obvious he and Lilith needed to attend.
Later on Saturday afternoon, the winners of the annual Up in Smoke BBQ competition were announced. This year’s Grand Champion overall was the team known as 209 Barbeque.
