For the majority of us, this year's Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival is now a collection of fond memories and maybe a few really great pictures. But for the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce, the event is still going on to a certain extent. In the near future, the chamber and all of its committees involved in the festival will get together and discuss this year's events: what went right, what might not have, what people liked and what perhaps wasn't quite so popular. To help them get a good picture of the event and an idea of how to plan the next one, the chamber is asking the public to participate in a brief online survey about the festival. The link to the survey is provided in the story below. Please take literally two to three minutes to fill it out and share your opinion of this year's event with the planners.
