The tourism bureau has placed "Welcome to Lincoln & Logan County" banners on the giant covered wagon. Volunteer extraordinaire John Sutton hung them, making it truly a “welcome wagon.”
The banners are new fence banners that the bureau will use at local events such as the Logan County Fair, Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival and Railsplitting Festival. They are being used on the wagon in the interim, while a new wagon cover is being fabricated over the next few months. The cover was destroyed by high winds last year. The wagon was donated to the tourism bureau by Lincoln philanthropist Larry Van Bibber.
