|  Main Street Lincoln is a supporter of Small Business Saturday. The historic 
downtown district in Lincoln offers quaint shopping, thrift stores and tasty 
offerings at restaurant locations. The public is invited to join Main Street Lincoln, the Small Business 
Administration and organizations across the country in supporting local small 
business by shopping at a small business on Saturday. Also, mark your calendars for the annual Lincoln Christmas Parade, planned 
for Dec. 5. The parade will kick off at the corner of Wyatt Avenue and Kickapoo 
Street at 5:30 p.m. This year's theme is "A Picture Perfect Christmas."  Santa Claus will be visiting Lincoln to take part in the annual Christmas 
parade through historic downtown. This year he has room in his sleigh for one 
lucky child to ride along with him and help spread Christmas cheer. If your 
child is between the ages of 5 and 12 and would like to enter for a chance to 
"Ride Along with Santa," use the form online at
https://www.facebook.com/MainStreetLincoln. The winner will be chosen by a 
random drawing and will be contacted on Dec. 2 by email or Facebook message.
