Ribbon Cutting for Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit

Please join us for a ribbon cutting ceremony to open this exhibit. 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 13.

The games. The rivalries. The cheer squad. The fans. Nothing brings about a response quite like local sports, and Lincoln Parish has the honor of being the home to some of the most amazing sports personalities in the history of our country. That is why we are so excited to take part in the Smithsonian’s Museum on Mainstreet exhibition series to bring Hometown Teams to our local sports fans. Starting August 13, the Lincoln Parish Library will host a series of events and a one-of-a-kind exhibit of material from the Smithsonian and memorabilia from our own sports-wild corner of the world to celebrate local sports and the people who drive it. Our first event, the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting, will be held at the Library Events Center on Saturday, August 13 from 2 to 4 PM. We will have several local sports personalities from some of baseball’s greats, including George Stone, Coach Wilbert Ellis, Wayne Causey, and Ben Williams. You’ll want to be sure to take part as we welcome this exhibit to our area and share some exclusive memorabilia from players and fans alike in our area. You’ll be ready to root for the home team when you see this collection of memories and celebration of sports past, present, and future!
