While
the Guinness world record for the most Abraham Lincoln look-a-likes
in one place at one time was not broken this weekend, the event held
Saturday in downtown Lincoln was a fun and exciting time. More than
75 look-a-likes gathered on the lawn of the historic Logan County
Courthouse for an 'official' picture. Before gathering for the photo
the many Lincolns enjoyed visiting with each other and having a good
time comparing costumes.

On
Saturday, the 49th Railsplitter Festival got off to a damp start as
the rain came down throughout the morning. While it was damp
outside, inside the Postville Courthouse spirits were not dampened
and optimism was high that the day would eventually clear up and be
good for everyone. Several gathered inside the courthouse for the
ribbon cut kicking off the event. As the morning wore on, the rain
came and went, but folks still seemed to enjoy the festivities and
took advantage of the rainy times to explore activities inside
buildings and under tents. When the rain stopped, they ventured out
to do more exploring.
LDN will have coverage from the Railsplitter Festival in its Tuesday
edition.
