VILLAGE BOARD MEETING TONIGHT (WEDNESDAY)
The Food Bank distributed food to 100+ folks on Friday, October 4th. Thanks so much to Bob Wilhelm, Dale Henke, John Golden, Galen Crawford, Steve Kroese, Mary Wallen, Margaret Wertman, and a friend of Margaret's. Heroes come in all different kinds of packages! Couldn't do it without them! Next delivery will be Friday, Novembert 1st.
Thank goodness for our volunteer firefighters, who were called to a field west of town. Thank you for all you do!
A reminder: the speed limit is still 55 MPH at Palmyra exits. There are usually several vehicles that never slow down, some going well over 70 MPH. But we've also noticed a trooper parked in the median...Beware!

Nebraska Education Scholarship Program
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, October 4, 2024 – Nebraska State Treasurer Tom Briese announced that the application for the Nebraska Education Scholarship Program (LB1402) is now open to families.
Nebraska Education Scholarships are designed to help more K-12 Nebraska students access the educational setting that is right for them. The program is being implemented in partnership with Opportunity Scholarships of Nebraska (“OSN”) and education technology leader, Odyssey.

Synopsis: George and Charlotte Hay are fading stars of the 1950s currently playing Private Lives and Cyrano de Bergerac in Buffalo, New York. Personal and marital drama abounds when they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to see their matinee and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie! Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong. This madcap comedy brings to light the chaos and magic of live theater!

COME ON OVER!
This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together. Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
