Festival plans shaping up By Chris McCubbin Senior Editor___ FarmAid III, after just one week of ticket sales, is sold out. The city of Lincoln is determined that the Sept. 19 concert will he a big success for more than distressed farm families. According to Deane Finnegan, Lin coln coordinator for the event, the city plans to turn FarmAid into a long weekend festival. The almost 30-member steering com mittee has met only twice, but already many events are tentatively scheduled, Finnegan said. The FarmAid weekend will kick-off Thursday night with a parade, Finnegan said. The opening ceremonies, to take place in the Haymarket, will probably include a Willie Nelson lookalike con test and a musical performance by Lincoln Mayor Bill Harris and three of his brothers, she said. Later Thursday there will be a battle of the hands” contest. Depending on the number of contestants, separate prizes may be given for rock and country' acts, Finnegan said. Food vendors, artists and crafts, informational displays and street musicians will be in the Haymarket throughout the festival.

Stan Herd, a crop artist, will turn two fields into works of art in honor of FarmAid. He will plant the fields with different sorts of seeds which will grow into living pictures. Finnegan said all money making events are being encouraged to donate a portion of their proceeds to farm relief. On Friday there will be a series of street dances in the Haymarket, spon sored by different local organizations. Proposed events include a chili feed and country dance, a polka dance with a beer garden, a classical concert with wine, and a concert of Hispanic music. Alcohol will be available in designated areas by coupon. Other proposed Friday events include a benefit auction and an ice cream social. There are few events scheduled for Saturday other than the concert itself, which will run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Finnegan said there may be an early morning pancake feed for concert goers and the Goodyear Blimp may be in town for the concert. Confirmed performers for the concert include: Bon Jovi, Neil Young, .John Melleneamp, Merle Haggard, Kris Kris tofferson, Emmy Lou Harris, Waylon Jennings. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Roger McGuinn, Joe Walsh. The Cnfor given, John Denver, The Fabulous Thunderbids, Asleep at the Wheel, Steve Earle, The Bellamy Brothers, Delbert McClinton, Lynn Anderson, Lyle Lovett, Johnny Rodriquez and David Lynn Jones. More acts are expected to confirm this week. Saturday night there will be a presi dential candidate forum at Pershing Auditorium. Two candidates so far have confirmed they will be at the forum. "That’s the fun part . . .” Finnegan said of the special events. But “we’re also thinking how we can get in enough porta-potties." Finnegan said that other concerns include providing adequate camp ground space and arranging extra bus service. Finnegan dismisses the idea that the fast sellout of concert tickets in Nebraska will reduce the event's impact on tourism. Finnegan said she knows of people from California and South Carolina who plan to attend. She also said that as of last week only a handful of local hotel rooms remained available for the FarmAid weekend. Security concerns include protecting nationally known performers at hotels, the airport and on the streets, Finnegan said. Regent Robert Koefoot expressed a concern a few weeks ago that FarmAid will be an occasion for illegal alcohol and drug use. Finnegan said limiting such activities is a nuyor security priority. Last week Lincoln Police Chief B. Dean Leitner traveled to Champaign I'rbana. Illinois, the site of the first FarmAid concert, to see what sort of emergency medical and security situa tions arose during the first concert. Alcohol will not be allowed in Memorial Stadium. Concertgoers will be allowed to bring small coolers to the show, but coolers will be searched upon admission. Any alcohol will be thrown away at the gate. Finnegan said the concert's benefits will extend far beyond the agricultural crisis. "It’s exciting to see so many com munity organizations coming together," she said. The FarmAid event shows the connection between Lncoln and rural Nebraska, she said. Finnegan said that as the festival plans progress the city intends to insure that the event’s focus stays on the farm economy. _ 1 Ap3\ (shuttle) VjmiiiTjr 475-6363 Special Offer /wzza\ (shuttle) Vwuiiiur s 475-6363 Special Offer ©$1 off any Pizza Ah77aV j ordered 11 a.m.>4 p.m. ( SHUTTLE) I y \gjg/ j i 475-6363 I II M ^ U 475-63631 We Deliver 230 No. 17th _ .
