Those were the days! It was hot and sunny when StrumDinger’s Ukulele Group, Jeff Hamm and Errol Libby performed at Veterans Square during Lincoln Loonfest this year.
We're doing a photographical retrospect of the summer of 2026, using photos that we can't always fit into the weekly newspaper.
Is this enjoyable? Or a form of torture?

The weekend is for live music! A retrospective photo-lookback at summer of 2026 would not be complete without remembering Lincoln Loonfest!
On Friday at Cobb Field during the festival this summer, festival-goers got to hear the tunes of Josiah Dyer and The Wildwoods Band.
Oh summer, why have you transpired so quickly?

While we continue with our summer retrospective, looking back at the local highlights of the season and sharing photos that we don't have room to publish in the paper -- How about that Burlington-Lowell 4th of July Celebration and Community Events parade this year? Alwasys a fun celebration, but it was especially meaningful this time, as we celebrated America's 250th birthday.

We're doing our best to hang on to summer vibes! Maybe these pictures of the Burlington-Lowell 4th of July Celebration and Community Events fireworks this year will keep your festive spirits up.
We got some good ones this year, but can't usually use them all (you know, got to save room for news, sports, coming events, public notices, etc.) -- so here are some of the ones that didn't make the cut. Hopefully this adds color to your day. (Photos by Ben Meiklejohn)
