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.
