Friday
was Senior Citizen Day at the Logan County Fair. It was
a day filled with fun and entertainment geared toward
our more seasoned citizens of Logan County.
Among the events held at the Lincoln Stage Area was live
entertainment by Mary Pfeifer, who performs a tribute to
the late and great Country Western singer Patsy Cline.
The show was remarkable and the guests in the room, not
all seniors, by the way, enjoyed every second of it.
LDN will have additional coverage of the Senior Day
activities early next week.
