NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

Team of_horses_and_buggy

Friday, 3-24-1916, The Otoe Union:

"Ed Fey's team indulged in a lively runaway last Friday. No one

was hurt and the team was stopped by running into the big stump

by the doctor's office. The harness was considerably damaged by

the impact but the stump is still on deck." Prof. W.F. Wilkins

was retained as Unadilla principal for the 1916-17 school year,

as were teachers Alma Harms and Lizzie Doyle.

Greenblatt & Seay's Schoolhouse Performance Series features a concert of Wedding Music on Sunday, April 10, at 2:30 PM, in the Old Avoca, Nebraska Schoolhouse.  This is a great opportunity for folks who are planning a wedding to experience some of the most requested wedding tunes, including Pachelbel's "Canon", and Mendelssohn's "Wedding March", as well as selections that are perfect before and after the ceremony.

Besides Classical and Renaissance styles, Debby and David also play music from many cultures, i.e., Irish, Jewish, Swedish, etc.  The happily married couple use a variety of instruments, including hammered dulcimer, violin, nyckelharpa, guitar, harmonica, etc.

Greenblatt & Seay have been playing and singing together since the night they met, decades ago. The concert will be downstairs, followed by light refreshments, and a chance to chat and jam with the performers.

Avoca is in southern Cass County, Nebraska, on the 13 C Spur,  one mile south of Highway 34.

Admission is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for students and senior citizens, and $1.00 for children. Seating is limited.For more information, write to  Greenblatt & Seay, The Old Schoolhouse, P.O.
