CELEBRATE 40 YEARS OF COMMUNITY AT A TOWN-WIDE FAIR APRIL 30!
The Council on Aging, Parks and Recreation, and the Lincoln Review are all turning 40 this spring! They invite you to join them in a free town-wide fair for all ages to celebrate during the afternoon of
Saturday, April 30, 2016 from 1 to 4 pm at Pierce Park! The fair will have a rain date of May 1.
The fair will feature activities and games, exhibits, popular and classical music, an art and historical photo exhibit, a barbecue and much more, all presented by Lincoln’s organizations and town departments!
The fair will be fun for all ages, with special children’s games and activities including an obstacle course and a live animal presentation. Lincoln’s history will be front and center with displays on Lincoln history and iconic Lincoln buildings and landscapes. The Lincoln Minute Men will demonstrate aspects of life in Lincoln in the 18th century. Myriad local organizations will provide information and demonstrations on such important topics as energy efficiency, agriculture, gardening. Lincoln and Lincoln-associated artists will show their best work in the Pierce House, which will also feature historic photos from the Town Archives.
What is a fair without food? The Police will host a barbecue where you can get a delicious lunch while the Minute Men will offer 18th century baked goods and cider, both for a small cost. You are also welcome to bring a picnic basket and blanket and enjoy a meal or a snack on an empty space in the Park.
But wait! There’s more! While you are playing at all the activities, being fascinated by the exhibits, and relishing the beauty of the art, you will be regaled by music by some of Lincoln’s many virtuoso
musicians. Bands and performing groups, including the Lincoln Traditional Jazz Sextet and others, will play your favorites outside on a stage while Evelyn Harris and Jim Roth, Ken Hurd, and Trevor Berens and Jessica Tunick Berens will play and sing inside the Pierce House.
And expect some surprises!
