Lincoln Mayor Keith Snyder and 4th Ward Alderman
Jeff Hoinacki, the city council's coordinator for the
Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival, have announced the
winners in the city's Art & Balloon Festival giveaway.
As a Prime Sponsor of the festival, the city of Lincoln
receives several benefits and complimentary items.
This year, as it has for each of the past four years, the
city chose to share those benefits with the citizens and
taxpayers of Lincoln, the folks who underwrite the cost
of city's sponsorship and every other activity of city
government.
There were 124 entries in the giveaway contest. Boxes
for entries were placed in City Hall, the Lincoln Public
Library and the office of the Lincoln/Logan County
Chamber of Commerce. The winners' names were
pulled from all the entries in a drawing conducted
in the mayor's office at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Listed
below are the winners:
• Matthew Fish, of North McLean Street
• Kim Hall, of North Adams Street
• Elaine Knight, of Eighth Street
• Shelley Spellman, of Rutledge Drive
• Amy Tippett, of Nicholson Road
Each of the winners will receive a prize package that
includes two admission passes to the airport for all
weekend, two 2013 Art & Balloon Festival pins, and
two Art & Balloon Festival T-shirts.
The city thanks all the contestants who entered and
wishes everyone a safe, fun and delightful weekend.
The news release from the city said in conclusion: “We
hope everyone in Lincoln is able to participate in as
many of the festival events as they can. Remember
also, each of us is an ambassador to all the visitors
we’ll have in town all weekend. Please make them feel
welcome and provide any assistance you can.”
