            [December 27, 2013]      Send a link to a friend This year Lincoln was an 
			idyllic setting for the annual Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival. The weather was good, the crowds were good, the food was good, and 
			of course the balloons were great. LDN had reporters and 
			photographers at every part of the festival, from the pre-festival 
			sidewalk art, to the library book sale, the Up in Smoke and Backyard 
			Barbeque competitions, the car show, the wine tent, and the balloon 
			launches, glows and fly-in. We also published a special 
			online 
			
			magazine of this event, filled with stories and photos. Photos in these albums are in 
			no particular order
