						Ribbon cuts 
						will be offered to new businesses, businesses with 
						substantial renovations or expansions, and relocations. 
						LDN will also offer ribbon cuts to local events, such as 
						the Logan County Fair, Railsplitter, and Balloons Over 
						66; other milestone events such as the opening of 
						a new 
						tourist attraction, new or substantially renovated 
						government facilities; and we will help local businesses 
						and organizations celebrate their significant milestones 
						such as major anniversary dates.  
						 
						Anyone interested in having a ribbon cut 
						can contact LDN by emailing
						
						ribboncut@lincolndailynews.com or calling Karen 
						Castelein (217-737-7418), or Nila 
						Smith (217-737-3613). Cuts should be scheduled at 
						least 10 days to two weeks before the event.
 
 LDN will provide the ribbon and scissors for the 
						ceremony and will facilitate getting owners and 
						community leaders to say a few words before the actual 
						cut. LDN will also set up photo ops before and during 
						the cut that local media will be invited to take 
						advantage of.  Ribbon cut events will be listed on 
						the LDN Community Calendar pages.
 
						[NOTE: LDN reserves the right to decline requests for 
						ribbon cuts for any reason.] |
