Holding anti-war signs and banners, students and Ames community members lined Lincoln Way on Sunday to protest the war in Iraq.

The peace march, which drew nearly 250 participants, culminated in a rally that included musical performances and statements from members of various organizations opposed to the war in the parking lot of Lincoln Center, at the intersection of Lincoln Way and Grand Avenue.

The event was part of a nationwide series of protests last weekend that coincided with the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq by the United States and its allies.
