Special edition of LINCOLN DAILY NEWS.com
On Friday afternoon a second ribbon-
cutting for the 40th annual Lincoln Art
& Balloon Festival took place on Wyatt
Avenue, just prior to the annual pilots
parade.
As the parade participants lined up, there
were some very important figures at the
beginning of the lineup. Among them
were Jim and Nancy Ireland, who were
this year's grand marshals. 2013 Logan
County Fair Queen Crystal Quint and
Little Miss Celia Cross were on hand, and
Lincoln/Logan Chamber of Commerce
director Andi Hake and her staff were
also among those taking the lead on the
parade.
Also very important to the parade were
the entries, which included the pilots of
the balloons that will participate in this
weekend's activities at the airport.
The parade began on Wyatt and wound
its way through the downtown area, then
went north on Kickapoo to the airport.
