A crowd of happy faces gathered Saturday morning for the ribbon-cutting of the 42nd annual Abraham Lincoln National Railsplitting Festival. Event chair Darlene Begolka did the honors while John Sutton and Geoff Ladd held the ribbon. Joining in the celebration were Mayor Keith Snyder and several of the volunteers who work in the pioneer village.
