It may be hard to believe, but this is a picture of folks playing golf at North Greens Golf Course in Atlanta. Friday night the Lincoln & Logan County Development Partnership hosted an after-dark golf fundraiser event. The players wore glow necklaces. They also strapped them on their golf carts so they could find the carts, and their golf balls had lights in them. It was the first time such an event has been held at the course, but more than likely will not be the last.

Friday the Knights of Columbus were having their annual Tootsie Roll fundraiser in downtown Lincoln. As motorists passed through the downtown intersections, they were given an opportunity to make a donation to the fundraiser and were given a "thank-you" Tootsie Roll in return. Pictured above, Byron Kinsolving, a K of C field agent, collects a donation from a motorist. The money raised will go to support Special Olympics and special education programs.

Friday night the Railers walked away with a very disappointing loss against Taylorville. No matter what Lincoln tried -- a halfback pass, a reverse, runs to the inside, runs to the outside, drop-back passes or screen passes -- it seems the Tornadoes had an answer. “There wasn’t anything much that we were productive with,” said coach Andy McDonald. “We had five punts. We tried to mix it up and spread them out, throw some passes. They covered those well and still put pressure on the quarterback. I mean, give Taylorville a lot of credit. They played extremely fast, hard and aggressive. I don’t feel like we did, at that level.”
