Scholarship

Nick and Kathy Allen Memorial Scholarship

Nick and Kathy Allen were lifelong residents and devoted supporters of the Lincoln County Fair whose love for their community left a lasting impression on everyone who knew them. After their passing, a scholarship fund was established in their memory to honor their deep commitment to the fair and to the youth it serves. Created in 2024 as a living tribute to their generosity and spirit, the fund helps carry forward the values they cherished. Each year proceeds from the annual CP Witte Memorial Truck Pull have been added to the scholarship fund, further strengthening its impact and ensuring that Nick and Kathy’s legacy continues to support and inspire future generations.
