Sunday pancake and sausage breakfast to raise funds for Lincoln Heritage Days and Lincoln fireworks

[APRIL 8, 2006]  This year's Heritage Days festival in Lincoln is starting out with a bang. A pancake and sausage breakfast on Sunday at the American Legion Hall, 1740 Fifth St., will benefit the Heritage Days festival and the Lincoln fireworks display. Beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 1 p.m., everyone is invited to come out and enjoy the breakfast, bake sale and prizes.

Tickets for the breakfast will be $6, though children 6 and under will be admitted free. Carryouts will be available. All proceeds from the event will go toward Lincoln Heritage Days and Lincoln fireworks.

Tickets are available at the following local businesses: Serendipity Stitches & Custom Framing, Beans & Such, The Mustard Moon, Treasure Chest, Sew Many Friends, Action Rental, Glenn Brunk Stationers, MKS Jewelers, YMCA, City Hall, Lincoln Park District, Lincoln College Museum, and the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County (Information Station).

"The cost of fireworks displays and insurance keeps increasing," said Mayor Beth Davis. "We need the support of the public through our breakfast fundraiser to assist us with providing a really fun Fourth of July weekend this year. We hope everyone can join us at the breakfast and enjoy our Heritage festivities later this summer."

The mayor and the city of Lincoln have, in just a few short years, made the Heritage Days event one of the top three in Logan County, along with the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival and the Abraham Lincoln National Railsplitting Contest and Crafts Festival.

Lincoln Heritage Days will kick off on June 30 and conclude with a fireworks display on July 4. More information on the festival will be available later.
