It’s off to a really good start, and that’s great for downtown and good for the railyard,” said President of the Downtown Lincoln Association Todd Ogden, “It’ll be a great date opportunity, have some food downtown, get on the ice rink, and go out for a drink after; you can have a full evening celebrating the new-year in downtown.”
