An incorrect version of the obituary for Jean Loud Mallary was published on April 24. The correct version is now on the Lincoln Squirrel website.

Lincoln residents were out in force as both spectators and participants during the Patriots’ Day weekend celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War. Activities in town included the alarm and muster reenactment on Sunday, April 20 and the dawn tribute and march to Concord on Monday, in addition to the reenactments and parade in Lexington and Concord on Saturday.

There were no major injuries or arrests over the weekend, though several reenactors wearing heavy wool uniforms on Saturday were treated for heat-related illnesses when temperatures reached 80 degrees, and two were taken to the hospital, Lincoln Fire Chief Brian Young reported. They subsequently received an additional eight cases of water. The only minor disturbance came when an unauthorized man from out of state dressed in redcoat garb attempted to join the reenactment and was asked to leave, Police Chief Sean Kennedy said.
