The downstairs portion of the courthouse fills
quickly with those wishing to be a part of Abe's 203rd birthday
celebration.
|
Brian "Fox" Ellis calls to all the guests in a
song, urging them to join him upstairs to hear tales of Lincoln as a
youth. |

Tourism director Geoff Ladd has some fun with
the spatula as Sue Bidwell looks on. What better way to
celebrate a birthday than with a nice piece of chocolate cake?
|
A nicely decorated sheet cake featuring the
signature stovepipe hat of our 16th president is the focal point of
the refreshment table.
