posted daily OVER THE NOON HOUR  (CDT)

It's cuttin' loose for some summer fun time. Dancers hit the streets when "Vintage Daze" heated up the Lincoln Heritage Days Celebration on Friday evening. "Imagine That" followed on rock night. Tonight's is country with the "Saturday Nite Special" followed by "Chillbillies."
Afternoon in Scully Park features a community garage sale, kids music and games and a water melon feed; while a car cruise-in takes place on the square.
