On
Sunday afternoon an annual tradition marked the opening
of the 2021 Logan County Fair. Local veterans from all
branches of the military gathered in the grandstand for
an interveteran group photo. Much to the delight of
Logan County Fair Board member Mike Maske, who
orchestrates the picture event, there was a larger
turnout.

On
Sunday afternoon, another significant veteran moment
occurred in Lincoln on South College Street. The first
Veteran Tiny Home was turned over to its new owner Scott
Jackson.
After a very touching opening ceremony, Jackson was
accompanied by Lincoln Mayor and Veteran Tracy Welch in
cutting the ribbon to the new home. Welch then had the
honor of turning over the house key to Jackson so that
the veteran could enter his home for the first time.
