LINCOLN
- Last Saturday, June 24th, was breezy and cool, full of warm
shine. Perfect for open air ride through the country roads of
northern Logan County. A trail of tractors, mostly antique, looped
through the area beginning at the Logan County Fairgrounds. It was a
beautiful day for the jaunt, but the activity held a far more
purposeful mission as a fundraiser to help a young local woman with
travel and medical expenses.

Nicole Bottrell has been diagnosed with stage four
brain cancer. Its spread to her spinal cord has prompted the need to
travel for specialized treatment in Houston, Texas. Bottrell, who
just returned from a trip, has already gone down several times and
will be going again in August. Her treatments are every six to eight
weeks, and between treatments her Texas doctors work with her
doctors here.

A neighbor, Duane Ingram, organized last Saturday's Tractor Run to
help the family out with mounting expenses.
An all day, big fundraiser is planned at the American
Legion and Logan Lanes. It will take place on Saturday, July 29th
from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The day will include motor cycle show with
awards, food, entry in drawing for a big screen TV with every food
ticket purchase, DJ music, raffles, auction and more with a bowling
tournament beginning at 7 p.m.
