Lincoln Day Dinner speech contest finalists announced

The 2024 Kootenai County Lincoln Day Committee announced the names of three local students selected to present speeches at Saturday's Lincoln Day Dinner at The Coeur d'Alene Resort. 

To make its selection, the committee reached out to Kootenai County public and private high schools and area home schooling networks. More than 20 students submitted videos for a chance to be the voice of their generation and to win one of three scholarships for $2,200, $1,700 and $1,200.

The finalists, Edward Clark, Rowen Lair and Greyson McKee, will precede keynote speaker Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
