An annual event that has been reimagined is this weekend in Lincoln.

For many years, the Art and Balloon Festival was a major draw to the City of Lincoln but over time they had a hard getting volunteers to keep the event going. It has since been reimagined with a focus on BBQ and balloons says Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch.

According to Mayor Welch, they continue to need volunteers to make this event happen and indicates they try to make volunteering worthwhile for those individuals.

The Mayor reminds former Mayor Seth Goodman is a hot air balloon enthusiast and was instrumental in restarting the festival at a scaled-down level.
