There is quite a bit going on in terms of Lincoln activities. I thought I'd spend a moment this morning to pass along a few of the most interesting events planned for this weekend:
62nd Annual Boy Scout Lincoln Pilgrimage
Join the Boy Scouts of America on Friday April 25 through the 27th as they walk where Lincoln walked. They will visit sites throughout central Illinois, from Lincoln's New Salem to the Old State Capitol and Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield.

Lincoln Circuit Ride 2008
You may recall last year's post about this group. They're back!
Illinois' Old Eighth Judicial Circuit provided the life experiences that made Abraham Lincoln immortal. Over 2 weekends, we will make every attempt to ride the same roads and visit the same court houses as did Abe. Bring your children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors. On weekend 1 the tour leaves at 9 am April 26th, 8th & Capitol in Springfield. We will overnight in Lincoln and end at the Piatt/Champaign County Line Marker on April 27th.
