The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department is once again inviting the public to participate in a program this spring that encourages visits to local museums and parks. The Field Trip Across Lincoln and Beyond program runs from March 1 through April 30 and offers prizes,  such as art classes, family museum memberships, posters, puzzles and artwork. Participants visit each location and follow activity instructions in the official passport, which is available at the venues and Lincoln City Libraries. Those who complete the assigned tasks will earn a stamp from the locations. After collecting stamps from at least five of the eight sites, participants can enter the prize drawing by sending a photo of the passport to fieldtriplnk@gmail.com.
