Lincoln Look-a-Likes

We are hoping you will join us for the 38th annual Lincoln Days Celebration to be held October 2nd and 3rd, 2010 here in Hodgenville. The Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln costume contest will be held on Saturday, October 2nd on the central stage located in downtown Hodgenville. The contest will begin at 10:30 A.M. (EDT).
