LDN -- Top Stories

Wednesday evening a sizeable crowd showed up to help Seth Goodman and the realtors and staff of ME Realty cut the ribbon on their newly remodeled offices. The Lincoln/Logan County Chamber Ambassadors were on hand to host the ribbon cut. Afterward, everyone was invited in for a tour of the refurbished offices. The tour ended in the kitchen where a large buffet of sweets included a specially decorated cake as well as finger foods and a wide variety of sweets.
