Makers come in all different forms. Some shape molten glass just to get a good laugh. In the next part of WGLT's Maker to Maker series, Lou Warner sat down with John Miller in his exhibit of super-sized dinner food. Miller, an Associate Professor of Glass at ISU, stumbled into glass blowing by chance when he was student.

It takes two to tango but at least four people are needed to get a hot air balloon in flight. And it takes a village to make Lincoln’s Balloons Over 66 happen. The landmark late summer festival in the Logan County city 30 miles south of Bloomington-Normal includes this weekend’s art fair, barbeque contest, doggie diving competition and a street fair in the downtown square. It's also paired with the annual Railsplitting Festival, running Saturday and Sunday in Downtown Lincoln.

And the city is happy that Downtown renovations are on schedule to finish phase one next month. That's all in a new Sound Ideas interview with Bloomington City Manager Jeff Jurgens.
