Thousands of young Christians came to Linn County in the spring. The Christian Youth Festival north of La Cygne drew more than 4,000 people from around the country. The massive Christian Paradise ’08 was held May 25 along the Miami-Linn county line, near County Road 2400 just east of U.S. Highway 69.  Thousands of youth and adults from all over the country flocked to the event, which organizers had envisioned as a day of worship in the center of the country without distractions. Middle school students Jenny Fisher, Jennifer Henderson, Ashley Harris and Karmen Lathe rode seven hours from Walnut Ridge, Ark., to attend the event. “It’s just exciting,” Harris said, as she and her friends enjoyed a snack between worship services. “I think we’re all hoping we can get that relationship (with God), which can be tough, because most of the time teenagers get lost.”
