Volunteer Historian Contest
Several Logan County sports players accomplished higher levels in
their pertinent fields past high school and college play. The
"Information Station" -- the new chamber of commerce, economic
development and tourism headquarters at 1555 Fifth St. -- is asking
for the "loan" of items that can be displayed in the "Logan County
Sports Hall of Fame" area in the main lobby. We are not asking for
donations, simply loaned items that will be displayed with reference
to the donator(s) and can be rotated periodically for visitor
interest. Also, if you wish to donate items from these sports
legends for our "Celebrity Auction," we would appreciate that, too!
Let's show off our great sports legends for everyone to appreciate!
Contest deadline: Receipt by 5 p.m. March 1
Tourist Find Contest
There is only one place from Chicago to Oklahoma on Route 66 that
is part of the original 10-foot single lane of Route 66 --
and it's here in Logan County! It is located on private properties,
so be sure to let the owner(s) know you want to see the "Route 66
one-lane road." Take your picture along any part of this one-lane
original Route 66 corridor and send it in to our new location --
1555 Fifth St., Lincoln.
Contest deadline: Receipt by 5 p.m. March 1
