Our page in FB is designed to guide you to our daily publications. We will not report news on FB, but will provide friends with headlines and links to stories so that they may visit Lincoln Daily News and read all the latest information from Lincoln and Logan County. Examples of this may be links to new

postings in our classifieds sections, reminders of items listed on our community calendar pages, and we may also choose to highlight from time to time one or more of our advertisers or section sponsors. Because we are an online publication, a small firm, and always busy, we will not be a constant presence on our page. We will check the page one to two times per day; will add daily updates in the mornings on a regular basis, and will also add updates during the day if we have new or breaking news to report. We all know that FB is a great place for friends to interact with one another, and we welcome the opportunity to get to know our readers and have them get to know us. There are a few things that we respectfully request our friends not do on FB. FB is not the place for you to send us leads on interesting stories or events. Because we are not constantly on FB, your lead could go several hours without being noted, and we could miss the opportunity to follow up. If you have a piece of news you’d like to share, or a lead to an interesting story you think everyone would enjoy, please continue to send that information to our Managing Editor at [email protected]. If you have a special event coming up, we encourage you to post that in our Community Calendar. Go to our Community page in Lincoln Daily News and click on “submit an entry for LDN calendar of events". The page is easy to fill out, plus it is viewed by a person on our staff before it is posted, so if your information is unclear, someone will contact you before it is posted. Lincoln Daily News is humbled by the number of local advertisers we have in our daily editions. We have advertising throughout our paper that ranges from small ads in individual stories, to sponsorships of special sections. Our FB page is not the best place to tell our advertising staff you might be interested in joining our long list of local advertisers. If you are interested in promoting your business in Lincoln Daily News we encourage you to contact our Director of Advertising; Karen Hargis. Karen has years of experience in advertising and can help you design an ad that will fit your needs and your budget. You can contact Karen by emailing [email protected].

ARE YOU READY FOR THE WEEKEND? This year there will be double the fun and activities in Lincoln as the Balloons Over 66 and Railsplitter events combine into one great three-day event.

If you are interested in seeing life in the 1800's, be sure to head out to Postville Courthouse on Saturday and Sunday for all types of events including the Professional Railsplitting Contest held on Sunday afternoon.

On Friday and Saturday evenings, Open Arms Church will be the place to be to see 20 beautiful hot air balloons launch and then return for the special glow event held after dark.

During the day on Friday and Saturday, visit the downtown area for food trucks, live music, an art fair, a BBQ contest, and much more!

Hope to see you all there.
