Celebrity Bell Ringers to lead ‘Moving at the market’ with rewards for fitness
Ami-Gos Tacos now open at the LMH Market

[May 24, 2022] 

Last Saturday was the second week of the LMH Market at the Logan County Fairground, and the celebrity bell ringer for the day was Logan County Tourism Director Alice Roate.




Roate arrived before 8 a.m. with her good friend Eric Nguyen, left, very good friend Jake McCray, right, and her best friend Fitz the dog.





A couple of minutes before 8 a.m., Market Manager Jamie Jones started a live feed and introduced Roate, then at 8 a.m. sharp Roate did the honors of ringing the bell.

Then, she had her friends stayed at the market to lead a lap around the race track for ‘Moving at the Market.’

Jones explained that the moving at the market activity will be weekly throughout the market season. Those who are interested in taking a lap with the celebrity bell ringer will get a special gift.

Each Saturday in May the gift will be a free one month membership to the Lincoln YMCA. In June the gift will be Market Tokens that can be spent on merchandise offered by the many vendors at the market.

Jones says that it is a fun activity that encourages exercise and rewards those who take the lap.

Also, new last week was the opening of the café at the Market. This year the café is being manned by Ami-Gos Tacos, who were already quite busy early Saturday morning preparing food for hungry shoppers.

The LMH Market is open each Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon located in the first two exhibit barns across from the grandstands at the Logan County Fairground in Lincoln.
