[AUG. 19, 2005] The Logan County Courthouse Centennial
Committee is finalizing plans for the 100th anniversary celebration
of the Logan County Courthouse, scheduled for Nov. 5 from 1 to 5
p.m. Highlights include a parade, rededication of the courthouse,
open house and tours of the courthouse. Main Street Lincoln will
have its auction of the Lincoln Hats after 5 p.m. Mark your
calendars and plan to join in the festive occasion.
Aug. 31 is the deadline for submitting stories or photos of
particular events that occurred at the courthouse or the grounds
over the past 100 years. Do you remember cruising the courthouse
square in the '60s? Do you remember how busy the downtown square was
on Friday evenings? How about that unemployment office in the
courthouse? Were you involved in Junior Achievement when it was in
the courthouse basement?
If you submit photos, be sure to include the names of individuals
shown in the photos, as well as a brief description of the event
that was photographed. Photos will not be returned, so please submit
good-quality copies. The stories and photos will be put into a
souvenir booklet format.
Stories or photos should be placed in an envelope labeled
"Centennial Stories" and taken to the office of the Logan County
Board on the first floor of the courthouse or sent to Roseann Coers,
48-1800th St., New Holland, IL 62671.
Citizens who have questions concerning the courthouse stories may
call the county board office, 732-6400, or Roseann Coers at 732-3946
in the daytime or 445-2480 in the evening.
