On
Wednesday, August 2nd, the city of
Lincoln celebrated the completion of the
new Municipal Services Building located
on Limit Street in Lincoln. The
Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce
hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony outside
the massive garage that will be utilized
by the street department.
The new building will serve as the
headquarters for the street department,
plus it will house the offices of the
city's code officer and staff.

A Walk about at the fair
And that's a wrap! As of this
morning, LDN will officially say that its coverage of
the Logan County Fair is completed for this year. Like
many of the families who attend and participate in shows
and various fair activities, now that it is all done,
the staff at LDN would like to give out pats on the back
for a job well done; and applause - to those who work to
organize all the events - for the Fair Board and Fair
Office work, and those who maintain the grounds all year
long, but especially during the fair - to everyone who
contributed in any manner to make the Logan County Fair,
the best county fair in Illinois. It is with a big sigh
of relief, and like so many others, tomorrow we'll start
thinking about next year. So, we'll end this season by
saying, "See you in 2018!" |

"Last
year we had a goal just to win one game,” LCHS head
Coach Matt Silkowski said after Tuesday's practice. “It
was great that we were able to do that. Now though, it's
more optimistic around here because we don't what could
happen. Who knows how good we really can be.”
