Nathan Turner Memorial Fishing Clinic & Derby
Nathan Turner, a former city council member and resident of
Lincoln, was an avid fisherman and outdoorsman. He grew up attending
the Lincoln Park District Fishing Derby and cared deeply about
passing on his love of fishing and the outdoors to other children.
His family wanted to support the fishing derby to keep his memory
alive and spread his love of fishing and the outdoors. He is
survived by his wife, Sarah; his son, Benjamin; his parents, Dan and
Nancy; his sisters, Janell and Nanette; and many other loving family
members.
The FREE fishing derby is hosted by the Hickory Lane Campground
near Atlanta. In the past, the pond has been stocked just days
before the event. Prizes will be awarded in several different
categories in this competitive but fun event. The Lincoln Police
Department D.A.R.E program will co-sponsor the free derby. Chief Ken
Greenslate will be on hand cooking hot dogs and providing sodas to
the fishermen and their families. Parental approval is a must and
parents are encouraged to attend. Join us Saturday, June 11, from 9
a.m. to noon. Ages 4-15 will be represented.

Putting On a Play
Have some excitement this summer Putting On a Play. Learn
how plays are staged, rehearsed and performed. The camp will end
with your very own play production on Friday afternoon. Thespians
will learn how to adapt stories to be performed for audiences, as
well as how to create costumes, makeup and sets. Learn acting
techniques and have fun doing it! No theater experience is
necessary. All you need is a great attitude and a willingness to
learn. Bring your sack lunch, swimsuit and towel for a fun break at
the pool. Family and friends are invited on Friday to see the
production.
The camp will be led by Cody Follis, a recent graduate of Lincoln
College. He has been active in theater since his first show at
Lincoln Junior High School, continuing through high school and
college. At the college level, he has worked both onstage and off,
participated in various theater workshops and courses, and gained
valuable experience along the way. He is happy to be given the
opportunity to help expose a new generation of area youth to an
activity that builds self-esteem and confidence and is just
downright fun! Theater is food for the imagination.
