LDN -- Top Stories

Lincoln & Logan County Development Partnership director Brian Bergen and his board president, Vic Martinek, were all smiles Friday night as their second annual after-dark golf outing proved to be a great success. The development partnership hosted the outing at North Greens Golf Course in Atlanta. It is the only fundraiser the group will have this year. LDN will provide more coverage of this event in an edition early next week
