Cast your vote!

Each week USATODAY.com and
TripAdvisor.com posts a survey on a travel topic. This
week’s survey just happens to be about the best fall
scenic locations and foliage.
Now I’ve hiked to the top of the fire tower in Lincoln
State Park many times during the fall. By the time I get
up there, even though I’m dizzy and winded, I always
marvel at the beautiful fall colors. I am going to
predict that with the amount of rain we’ve had this year
our colors will be off the charts.
So … this is similar to “If you’re
happy and you know it clap your hands.” Only this one
goes along the lines of “If you like the Midwest’s fall
foliage and you know it cast your
vote!”
LINCOLN Exhibit Panoramas
September

Many of you, when visiting, had the chance to
tour our new Lincoln exhibit. It is a wonderful exhibit in
what used to be the gift shop … a great compliment to the
production.
The lovely
gent that worked on the projections in the Lincoln exhibit
finally got to visit us on closing night. Busy guy. While he
was here he snapped a few pictures and put together some
panoramas which he was kind enough to forward onto us.
And now I
can share them with you …

The "B" Word
September
9, 2009 by lincolnamphitheatre
Now that we've wrapped up the season here at the theatre, a
word that I am not fond of is being thrown around. A small
little "b" word. And that word is budget. As in 2010 budget. Gah!
I sometimes wonder how that one little word can instill such
fear into people. Its a sure way to make a person choke. Right
up there with the word "audit." Ghastly words.
Our managing director, Eric, has managed (isn't that
appropriate) to get through the first draft and is now working
on the second. I think that means I'd better get my butt in gear
and finalize some line items on my marketing and advertising
budget. Crikey!

Mrs. Lincoln?
August 26,
2009 by lincolnamphitheatre
I have to admit that sometimes I wonder
if Mary Todd ever put on Lincoln’s hat. When he was out
maybe she would secretly try on the hat …
I mean,
I couldn’t have resisted. Heck, I sometimes put on the
beard and hat that we have here. And of course one day
our admin assistant, Nathan, happened to have camera in
hand to get evidence.
I
can’t say I blame him. How could you pass up that photo
opportunity?!
