Realizing that children were experiencing fear from being quarantined at home, Karrie Funk, assistant preschool teacher at Lincoln Christian Church, along with her daughter, Abby, decided a visit from a Disney princess might calm some of those fears. They didn’t want people to remember the fear of covid-19 but, instead, to remember the joy of experiencing something special together.

Abby played the role of Belle in the live production of Beauty and the Beast in March 2019 at Lincoln Christian University. Donning her costume, Abby, with her mom as chauffeur, set out to put a smile on people’s faces. The ladies went all over town stopping to entertain children and their parents with songs from the Disney musical. Princess Belle practiced social distancing by singing from the street while families watched from their porches.

Though it was only a bit before 5 p.m., outside the evening sky looked more like it typically does around 7 p.m. or so. The storm was on its way. In a few short minutes the wind arrived, and also heavy rain that rolled down the streets in waves. It only lasted a few minutes in Lincoln, but it was long enough to wreak havoc around the Logan County community. The Illinois State Police reported multiple semi tractor-trailers were knocked over on Interstate 55 between Elkhart and Lincoln. Power went out in a wide portion of Lincoln as well as rural areas and other communities. Much of the reason for the power outages were snapped power poles and broken lines. In Lincoln, power was restored relatively quickly coming back on around 6:30 p.m. in many areas.
