About 200 people are expected to participate in the Lincoln Highway Bridge Festival 5K Run/Walk in Tama, Iowa, on Saturday, May 15, 2010. The run is part of the annual bridge festival May 13–15 that will include a carnival, ice cream social, street dance, pancake breakfast, and parade. The small concrete span that’s the focus of events is the most famous bridge along the coast-to-coast Lincoln Highway, with its side rails cast to spell out “Lincoln Highway.”
The run starts at 8 am. For more information, contact Amy Ridout at ridout@iowatelecom.net or (641) 484-3984. For more about the festival, visit www.tamatoledo.com/calendar.html/.

just a minor nitpick: the letters are cast, not carved;-)
