[December 09, 2023]  On Thursday evening a large crowd came out to see the many entries in the 2023 Lincoln Christmas Parade.

This year the Grand Marshal chosen by the Logan County Tourism Bureau was Joe Ryan. Joe, wife Michelle, and their fur baby were driven in a convertible provided by the Railsplitter Antique Auto Club.

The theme for the parade this year was “Deck the Halls; Christmas Light Show.” Judges Melanie Blankenship, Gail Apel-Sasse and Ron Keller were tasked with selecting the best entries in four categories.

Winning the Best Float was Crossway Church.

The Tourism Choice award went to Copper Creek Cottages.

The Kenney Fire Protection District earned the award for the entry best representing the theme.

The Lincoln Community Theatre won the prize for Most Creative.

Hot Air balloonist Seth Goodman gave a new meaning to Christmas Light Show.

And of course, no Christmas parade would be completed until Santa made his appearance.  Santa caught the attention of many of the children in the crowd, who would then follow the special sleigh to the Logan County Tourism Bureau Visitors Center at the Lincoln Depot.
