Douglas</strong> already at the Jonesboro debate site, <a href="http://www.lincolnstudies.com/archive/0207.html#02142007">organizers</a> have planned a dedication ceremony.<br /><p class="style24" align="justify">A Lincoln-Douglas Breakfast and Statue Dedication will take place on <strong>July 4th</strong>, just north of the Jonesboro Square, from 7:30-9:30. The event begins with an old-fashioned country breakfast.<br /><p class="style24" align="justify">Following breakfast, you are invited to "Walk Where Lincoln Walked" to the Debate Site, about a half-mile away in Lincoln Memorial Park. If you don't want to walk, no problem. You might enjoy a buggy ride, as Douglas did in 1858.<br /><p class="style24" align="justify">A dedication ceremony will take place at 10:00 with a cannon salute, while children's games and bluegrass music will round out the celebration. </p>Samuel P.
