Honored balloonists Jim and Nancy Ireland cut the ribbon at the Logan County Airport on

On hand to welcome everyone were Lincoln Mayor Keith Snyder; Andi Hake, executive
director of the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce; Leslie Hoefle, interim director

Happy that the moment to begin had come, Hake said, "It's always a long road to get here.”
