Lincoln is everywhere!

April 18th, 2008

When I wrote about all the Abe Lincoln events going on around Elgin, how did I forget the “Lookin for Lincoln” scavenger hunt-type event the Downtown Neighborhood Association is putting on?

They put a giant Honest Abe somewhere downtown each month for a year, and we go find it for fun, and in hopes of winning a prize! Abe will be in a new spot starting tomorrow. Here is the clue:

Abe’s not afraid of a little construction. He’ll be hanging out this week at a business on Chicago Street sipping banana cream lattes and reading one of his favorite books, “The Life of George Washington.” Stop in for a visit and get a special discount at this downtown shop. Be sure to sign Abe’s back side and drop your name in the box for a chance to win Abe at the end of the year.

I’m pretty sure I know which place they’re referring to, and I hope to check it out soon. Walked past, but never been in there yet.
