2018 Area Festivals

2018 Area Fall Festivals LINCOLN DAILY NEWS SEPT. 12, 2018 Page 5 Janice Begolka, a vendor who sells hand- crafted and Route 66 merchandise, said she enjoys seeing all the people out at the festival having fun. As always, with a festival that has been a tradition for over forty years, several festivalgoers enjoyed visiting with long-time friends they do not see very often. It has become a homecoming reunion for some in the small town. The festival opened in the park Thursday with a pork chop supper prepared by the Atlanta Rotary, carnival rides and games by Zeiler Amusements, musical performances by the Atlanta Band and Community Choir and the Fabulous Hoedads, and Bingo, which took place every night. Activities continued Friday with a ribeye steak dinner sponsored by the Atlanta Fire Department, the Prince and Princess Contest, and rides and games; though rainy weather that evening did keep many away from the rides. An All-community Worship in the park provided a wrap up to the weekend of festival fun.
