All the 175th anniversary festivities will be included in the Red Book,

contain some of the town's famous history since its founding
in 1836. The distribution date is expected by late October
or early November.

Lincoln Theater
owner David Lanterman explains to a patron the
removal of old orange siding from the front of
the building. The siding had been installed in the
1960s. Lanterman wondered how many people
actually noticed the change, or if it will take
a few trips past the building before they
realize what is missing. Except the siding
removal, there is no definite plan for the front
of the building at this time.
