Which is better, a big bag of toys or
a KitKat bar? Well, it might depend on who you ask. Both of these
youngsters were delighted with the prizes they won at the Open Arms
Christian Fellowship Church Easter Egg Hunt in Lincoln on Saturday,
though it would appear that maybe the candy bar might have been the
more desirable gift.

Had golfers been out on the driving range at the
Lincoln Park District on Saturday morning, they would have struggled
for sure with the high winds. While winds were not clocking storm
speeds, it was tough. Luckily, the dozens of children lined up for
the annual Easter egg hunt at the park district didn’t seem to care.
They also didn’t seem to care that it was a very chilly April
morning that required hoodies and even for some of them winter
coats.

This Year on Mother’s day a lost tradition in Lincoln returned in a
new version. The annual Mother’s Day Buffet was hosted by the United
Way of Logan County at the Oasis Senior Center. The buffet for
several years was held at Lincoln College as a fundraiser for the
Lincoln Rotary. A few years ago, the Rotary gave up the fundraiser.
This year, United Way Administrator Patty Becker took advantage of
that favorite past event and revamped it into a fundraiser for
United Way of Logan County.
