On
Tuesday morning a huge crowd turned out
for the official dedication and ribbon
cut at the newly renovated Depot train
station in Lincoln.
The renovation is stunning and many of
those on hand for the event, seeing it
for the first time, were amazed.
LDN will have complete coverage on this
special event in its Thursday edition.
At
noon on Monday, official Illinois
Bicentennial flags were raised
simultaneously throughout the state at
state, county and municipal government
buildings. The flag raising marked the
official beginning of a year-long
Bi-centennial celebration to be held in
Illinois over the next 12 months.
