We couldn't leave this very special Abraham Lincoln week without one last picture. The event that defines this city as the real namesake of our 16th president is the christening of our town, with Abe himself using the juice from a watermelon.

 

Re-creating the event at Zion Lutheran School during  "Lincoln Day" are (left to right) Brian Fuiten, Daris Knauer, Mark Heidbreder, Lance Podbelsek and Robert Presswood.
