FarmAid III ’ .
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. Finnegan said

plans are in the works to make the
Haymarket a pedestrians-only district
for 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.
