2019 Area Fall Festivals

2019 Area Fall Festivals LINCOLN DAILY NEWS Sept. 18, 2019 Page 87 tractor had been donated in honor of Carla, it became not just an honorary item but also a tribute to Ken. After she spoke, Hargis shook up the box of tickets and invited Carla to draw out the name of the lucky winner. That winner was Diana Crowell of Lincoln. Crowell was not present for the drawing but was contacted afterward. On Monday she arrived at the Lincoln Daily News offices to claim her prize. Crowell said that she purchased her ticket at the ALMH Market on one of the numerous Saturday’s that Hargis had it on display there. She said that she has two grandchildren, a girl who is four-years-old and a boy who is one. She said that the kids are very much looking forward to riding on their new toy. Crowell said that when she purchased her ticket she was thinking it would be a good thing for her grandchildren. But in addition to that, she said that she purchased the ticket with remembrance of the many friends and family members she knows who have battled cancer. After the drawing on Saturday, it was time for the tractor parade around town. The tractor owners all gathered and soon the parade around town was underway. The tractors took a pretty large sweep around town, coming back into the main business district from the west, past the grain elevator. With the parade completed, the day was pretty much done. There was a lovely decorated cake inside the New Holland Fire house where lunch was served. Everyone was invited to come back inside the firehouse for dessert. Some of the tractors stayed for a while afterward and others loaded up and headed home. The day was good, the weather was perfect, and the folks in attendance enjoyed a time of sharing their knowledge about farm implements with others. There was also time to remember Ken and speak with the family. Ken will be missed by many, but he created a legacy in what he did for the club and for Relay for Life, and his memory will live on through his family as well as all of the friends he made over the years. Thank you Ken for your good heart! Ken Harnacke
