On Wednesday, the Hot Rod Motor Tour made it’s way down Route 66 to Lincoln. There were thousands of cars enrolled in this year’s tour that began in Joliet and will end in Tulsa Oklahoma.

A good many of the vehicles took the look around town on Business 55/Rt. 66, to the delight of several people who parked at the Railsplitter covered wagon to watch them all drive by.

However, some did make the trek downtown, including one group from the Dells Wisconsin area who stopped at the Lincoln Letters and the big Mel-o-Cream Donut for a photo op.

Tuesday, June 9, Patrick Gettleman of United Community Bank presented a check for $8,770 to Kelly Jo Carter of the Together Table Foundation. The funds were raised at an All-Abilities event at the Eagle Lodge in Lincoln Saturday. The Together Table Foundation thanks the Eagles, sponsors, volunteers and all community members who attended the event for their support and generosity. The money raised will help launch the Together Table Foundation so they can begin offering programs to change lives and expand their reach so that everyone has a seat at the table.
