Alex Tanner loves seeing the hot air balloons
and her sister Gwyn loves the food. Both
enjoy the balloon glow and launch.
Tony and Wesley Newton and their three
children enjoy seeing all the balloons
and always like to get a funnel cake and
lemonade shake-ups. Their sons enjoyed
dancing around while waiting for the balloon
glow to start.
Five year old Blaine Klemm loves going on
the rides and said the cars are his favorite.
He always looks for the special shaped
balloon and is excited to see the pirate ship
balloon this year. He enjoys the balloon glow
too.
Olivia and Hunter Diamond like seeing the
balloons and playing the games. Their mom
Cynda Griffin loves the funnel cakes. Her
husband Zachary Griffin likes the games and
the ice cream cookie sandwiches.
On the cool and breezy Friday night, there
was plenty of activity for the crowds to
enjoy even though the balloons did not
launch. After the dark clouds had passed
through, those who had patiently waited
were able to see several balloons lighting the
sky during the balloon glow.
What is great about the Lincoln Balloon Fest?
