Will There Be A White Christmas This Year?

LP&T holds annual Christmas party

Large crowd braves cold temps to see Lincoln's Christmas parade

December 1 - It may have been 21 degrees in downtown Lincoln tonight, but that didn't stop hundreds of people from lining Main Street to watch Lincoln's annual Christmas parade. Fire engines, ponies, Scouts and floats aplenty lit up the street to the delight of all. Santa's sleigh this evening was a vintage fire truck! The crowd stayed around for some carols and the lighting of the town's official Christmas tree in Veterans Memorial Square. For a slideshow, CLICK HERE.
