Letter to the Editor

I'd like to take a moment and thank Sheriff Dutton in his role in ensuring the annual Independence Day Parade and the Lincoln Rodeo are able to move forward as planned.

I appreciate his, (and his staff's) commitment to our town and trusting the community and its' guests over the holiday weekend to practice safety and respect during the festivities. In his words, "if you're sick, stay home, if you're more comfortable wearing a mask, do so, and practice social distancing. Use common sense."

Thank you for trusting and supporting us.

Thank you for your dedication to our freedom and your own patriotism. Also in his words, "This is an Independence Day celebration and I'll be in the parade celebrating with you. If there can be protests, there can be a parade and rodeo."

Thank you again for your help in making our events happen, and for all you do for Lewis and Clark County.

With much appreciation,

Tammy Jordan,

Lincoln,
