Editing Lincolnshire, Illinois (section)

==Culture and media==
The village of Lincolnshire holds an annual summer festival, mirroring the more publicized and much larger [[Taste of Chicago]] in both nomenclature and intention. The ''Taste of Lincolnshire'' features and advertises "taste-size" samples of local restaurants and provides local entertainment, including musicians, a raffle, and a local pet show.<ref name=Tastey>{{cite web |url=http://www.chambermaster.com/directory/jsp/events/EventPage.jsp?ccid=96&eventid=16 |title=Information on the Taste of Lincolnshire 2008 |access-date=August 23, 2008 |work=Greater Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce |publisher=Village of Lincolnshire |year=2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100712082647/http://www.chambermaster.com/directory/jsp/events/EventPage.jsp?ccid=96&eventid=16 |archive-date=July 12, 2010 }}</ref> Since 1993, Lincolnshire has also held the Lincolnshire Art Festival a few weeks prior to the Taste of Lincolnshire; the event encourages Lake County artists to display their work to the community.
