Volunteer Historian Contest
We have several great
professional athletes that have hailed from Logan County and we
would like to honor them by setting aside a section of the lobby at
our new location as the "Logan County Sports Hall of Fame."
The Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau
of Logan County will display special items from any paid athlete
from Logan County. Do you have (or can you obtain), for example, a
Cook sweatband, a Semple helmet, a Seitzer glove or a King jersey?
Donations and on-loan items will be
accepted. Owner designation will be included to give you the
recognition for having the item in your collection!
Contest deadline: Receipt by 5 p.m.
Jan. 31
Tourist Find Contest
As we reflect on the past as well as
plan and hope for the future, let us be reminded of those who served
in the armed forces. Remember the men and women who protected,
defended and gave us the privilege of freedom.
Take your picture in front of a
veteran memorial in Logan County, including the All Veterans Park
Monument and Veterans Honor Roll in Lincoln at the corner of Union
and Delavan streets.
Contest deadline: Receipt by 5 p.m.
