2013 Art & Balloon Festival, August 30, 2013
Special edition of LINCOLN DAILY NEWS.com Page 9
Thursday evening, Symphony of Lincoln hosted their 15th
annual Balloon Festival Kick-off Party in the parking lot
of the nursing facility on the north end of town. Symphony
is located just feet from the Logan County Airport, so as
guests enjoyed a meal courtesy of Symphony, they got a
chance to see the media night balloons inflating and flying.
Symphony staff helped with serving food, which consisted
of barbecue sandwiches, green beans, coleslaw, chips and a
selection of cookies.
Several chose to eat inside at the guest dining area, but
many more made their way outside to the large tent where
the local band Rusted Guns was playing a variety of music
from good old rock 'n' roll, to country and western.
The Guns is normally made up of Bill Treakle, Terry
Miller, Jeff Letterle and Rick Letterle. On Thursday, Bill
Treakle Jr. was standing in at the guitar for Terry Miller.
While some enjoyed their meal at tables provided under the
tent, others brought their lawn chairs and lined the fence on
the north side of the parking lot.
The kids had a great time with their snow cones and cotton
candy, and new this year, Symphony was giving away
Frisbees, which everyone seemed to enjoy and appreciate.
