LYNDON—The Lyndon Fall Festival moved into the forefront of city event last weekend, drawing big numbers to a variety of events in the downtown area Saturday.

“We had between two and three thousand people here,” said Lyndon City Administrator Kim Newman. “We pulled off a lot for a small budget.”

The event kicked off with a pancake feed that nearly sold out of food, and picked up in the afternoon with games, activities and vendors. An overwhelmingly popular Coins in the Corn game allowed people to hunt for number chips linked to prizes, including gift cards and Kindles.

HARTFORD—The Burlingame Bearcats opened Friday night’s game with a solid 12-0 lead before lightning ended the night with three minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Game play resumed three days later on Monday evening, but the Bearcats failed to pick up where they left off, losing 42-38.

“We had the ball in the red zone, threatening to score,” said Burlingame coach Doug Bingham. “Unfortunately, we came out extremely flat and not ready to play.”

QUENEMO—A Horton woman was killed in a one-vehicle accident Saturday afternoon on State Highway 268, 8.7 miles east of U.S. 75 Highway, just north of Quenemo.

• Burlingame leads 12-0 with 3 minutes remaining in the second quarter of a game that will resume at 5 p.m. tonight in Hartford.
• Lyndon squeezed past Olpe in a 27-25 win, in a game that didn’t start until 10:30 and was finished around 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
