            [February 15, 2014]      Send a link to a friend Sunday afternoon one guest at 
			the Lincoln Park District Sweetheart Dance commented that it was a 
			regular heat wave outside.  Indeed the temperatures had 
			actually risen into the high teens, and compared with what we've 
			felt 
			in Lincoln over the last few weeks, that was indeed warm. Perhaps that and the cabin 
			fever that comes with heavy winter snows helped bring scores of 
			people out to the annual dance. As guests arrived, many of the 
			special couples were dads with daughters and mothers with sons. There were some who came as a complete family, and a couple of fellas came "stag," 
			perhaps hoping to pick up a new girlfriend.
