City announces annual Art & Balloon Festival giveaway

[August 12, 2013]  The city of Lincoln will once again conduct a giveaway in conjunction with the annual Art & Balloon Festival.

The announcement was made by Lincoln Mayor Keith Snyder and 4th Ward Alderman Jeff Hoinacki, the city council's coordinator for the festival.

As a Prime Sponsor of the festival, the city of Lincoln receives several benefits and complimentary items. As it has done for the past four years, the city will share some of those benefits with the citizens and taxpayers of Lincoln -- those who underwrite the cost of city's sponsorship and every other activity of city government.

Five prize packages will be awarded. Each prize package will include:

• Two wristbands for weekend admission to the Logan County Airport.

• Two 2013 Art & Balloon Festival collector pins.

• Coupons for two Art & Balloon Festival T-shirts.

Local citizens can register for the giveaway at one of three locations: the Lincoln Public Library, 725 Pekin St.; the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce office, 1555 Fifth St.; or the city clerk's office at City Hall, 700 Broadway. Everyone may enter as often as they like, but only one prize package will be awarded per household.

Winners must be residents of Lincoln. The contest is not open to city of Lincoln employees, elected officials, appointed officials or their immediate households.

The winners' names will be pulled from the entries in a random drawing at City Hall on Aug. 21. Winners will be notified immediately thereafter and can pick up their prize packages at City Hall on Aug. 22 or 23.
