Join Lincoln’s annual Fourth of July paradeGet your float ready for the July 4 parade! This year’s theme (recycling last year’s, as the parade was rained out) is “Lincoln: Something to Crow About!” First settled in the 1650s by farmers, Lincoln today is home to numerous farms and nearly 800 farm animals, including 417 chickens and roosters. Now that’s a lot of crowing! This year the stakes are high as the first-place winner will have their team picture displayed in Town Hall. The top three winners will also receive Golden Rooster trophies.
Download a parade application, fill it out, and scan and email it to eventssubcommittee@gmail.com or mail it to the Parks and Recreation Department at 16 Lincoln Road. On the morning of July Fourth, please meet on Ballfield Road before 9:45 a.m.

I totally agree with Barbara Slayter’ s observations and suggestions, particularly the second, of writing “stop” on the pavement parallel to the pedestrian path—the point from which the…
