A new brochure, "Lincoln,
IL Get-A-Way," was distributed, and there
was a drawing for coupons at the Blue Dog Inn, Hallie's restaurant
on the square, Owl's Roost, Lincoln Theater and Main Street Money to
various downtown merchants. Over 60 people signed up for the
drawing, and an individual from Naperville won the drawing. She and
her family are looking forward to a visit to Lincoln.It was a day
with interesting visitors. John Blair, who had been at Lincoln's
National Train Day observance on May 7, visited the Main Street
Lincoln booth in Chicago. A grandson of Pete Andrews, a former mayor
of Lincoln, visited the display and was excited to see Lincoln's
presence that day. Also, a couple from Los Angeles who have been to
Lincoln College Museum on several occasions spent time talking about
Lincoln.
Many people had a great learning experience as they were not
aware there is a Lincoln, Ill., and its distinctive features.
