Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July. We're not sure where
they were at, but we heard some pretty big booms at the
Western Wilhelm Outpost.

Can you believe the school supplies are in stores already?
Looking at the SDA website, the first day of school is Aug. 15th.
And the Otoe County Fair parade is Aug. 14th - then it's
goodbye summer!

Did you know you could circle the earth 436 times per year
with the styrofoam cups that are used in the U.S.? That more than
one third of the waste in our garbage cans is compostable
organic material? That Americans toss 195 million tons of
garbage each year - enough to fill 108,000 garbage trucks?

The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley announces that it will be holding
open auditions for "The Boys Next Door" at 7pm on Monday July 22 and
Tuesday, July 23. "Boys" is a very funny yet very touching play that
focuses on the lives of their social worker.
Artistic Director Kevin Colbert notes that the script is designed so that 6 of the
supporting roles may be played by one actress and one actor. However,
if we have enough auditionees, the cast may be doubled. Also the script
suggests that the role of Lucian be an African American.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Rehearsals will begin in
late July. Performances will run weekends August 31- September 15. Those
auditioning should bring a list of possible schedule conflicts. Questions about
auditions or the production itself may be directed to Kevin Colbert
at 402-234-1553.
