Main Street expresses appreciation for another successful parade

[December 10, 2014]  LINCOLN - Another Christmas Parade has successfully made its way through Historic Downtown Lincoln. The music was festive, the floats were amazing, there was more candy than you could get your hands on, and the magic was in the air with visits from Santa Claus and Elsa.

There was a large turnout from the community and dozens of business, organizations and efforts participated in the parade. Each year prizes are awarded for Best Band, Best Float, Best Walkers, Best Vehicle and the coveted Mayor's Choice.

Because of the number of amazing entries, choosing the winners was no easy task for this year's judges who were Mel Anderson of the Lincoln City Council), Ryan Anderson from the Logan County Sherriff’s Office, and Nick Hanson from the Lincoln Rural Fire Protection District. After a lot of discussion the judges would like to announce the following winners:

• Best Band: Lincoln Community High School - $50.00
• Best Float: Charron’s Auto Repair - $50.00
• Best Walkers: The Christian Village - $25.00
• Best Vehicle: BobCat Brad Services - $25.00
• Mayor's Choice Award: LifePointe Church of God - $100.00

Main Street Lincoln and the City of Lincoln would like to thank the community for coming out and the numerous business, organizations and efforts for their participation.

Don't forget that Santa Claus will be making appearances throughout the holidays at a number of area businesses. For appearance dates and times please visit Santa's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MerryChristmasSanta.

Happy Holidays from the City of Lincoln and the Main Street Lincoln Board of Directors!
