LINCOLN

On Thursday evening, the city of Lincoln hosted its annual community night, moving the venue this year to Postville Park on Fifth Street.

The event included food and fun for families as the Lincoln Police Department served up hot dogs, chips, and drinks, while the City Clerk staff provided mounds of homemade cookies. The Lincoln D.A.R.E. provided an inflatable obstacle course for the kids, and several city department vehicles were made available for exploring.

The evening saw a large turnout of city officials including Mayor Seth Goodman, Aldermen and alderwomen Michell Bauer, Kathy Horn, Jeff Hoinacki, Ron Keller, Steve Parrott and Tracy Welch. There were also several city staff on hand including several members of the Lincoln police, fire and street departments and staff from the clerk's office.

Administrative staff on hand included Police Chief Paul Adams, Fire Chief Mark Miller, City Clerk Peggy Bateman, Building and Safety Officer Wes Woodhall, Street Superintendent Walt Landers, and City Administrator Bob Mahrt.

Members of the community came and went throughout the evening, enjoying a quick meal and taking the opportunity to visit with city officials while kids placed most of their focus on the obstacle course.
