Some
of you may have noticed the bright red bow on the tree in front of
Small Town Creations in downtown Lincoln. Karen Hargis grabbed a
shot as she passed by the other day. Those who know Kathie Williams,
owner of STC knows she is full of good ideas for our downtown
community, so we were sure she had one for this bow.
Kathie said she read about a Texas community putting red bows
outside. The bows signify that we are all "in this together." They
also are meant to encourage everyone to pray for our country.
Kathie says she is hoping it will catch on locally and that people
will take heart. It's a tough time for all, be together, we will get
through it.

Yesterday LDN
ran a story about the people who are coming up with positive
ways to make a difference in our community. At Krueger
Elevator a group of farmers gather regularly for their
morning coffee and talk. This week they decided to conduct a
food drive. In one day they reached out to each other and
all agreed they could lend a hand by donating to the Lincoln
Logan Food Pantry. On Wednesday morning they gathered their
donations and delivered them to the pantry in Lincoln.
