At the meeting on 10-14, the Village Board decided to have

the USDA do a survey of our median household income, in hopes

of getting more funding the next time a grant is applied for. The

USDA will have the company Midwest Assistance do the actual

survey. There will be no charge to the Village or the residents. 

The Village or USDA will not receive any names, social security

numbers, addresses, or any other information asked for on the

survey, so your privacy is protected. If you have any questions or

need to verify Midwest Assistance requests, please call the

Village Office at 402-828-5355.

Congratulations to Sheena Kastens, daughter of Dwight & Julie

Kastens, and Trevor Snyder, who were married in the Unadilla

Park Saturday. Wishing them a long and happy married

life together.




The Bike/Walk path is completed. Bob & I took a stroll around 

it Sunday after church and it is beautifully done.

BikeWalk Path_1_500

The park benches, lights, and trash cans will be added in the

near future, as well as landscaping.

Bike Walk_Path_2_500

It is a good addition to our lovely park. So now the covered

park shelter and both sets of restrooms are connected bgy a

cement walk - no more hopping around in the mud. Hope

to see you "on the trail?" Thanks to the Unadilla Area Fund

and the Village for completing this wonderful project.




Did you know that $1 out of every $10 we spend

on food pays for the packaging?

Does anyone have a mannequin to lend or donate? It would be

used for displays in the Veteran's Room at the Community 

Center. Also, if you haven't brought in a photo of your veteran,

please do so we can add it to our memorial wall. And don't

forget the Parade of Veterans sponsored by the Legion Auxiliary

at the Fair Center in a few weeks. Honor your veteran!

"Nana's Naughty Knickers"

Knickers 2_500

 The Lofte Community Theatre announces the opening of their next production, “Nana’s Naughty Knickers,” on Saturday, October 10 at 7:30pm.  Written by Katherine DiSavino, the script is a fast-paced comedic farce that has become the Lofte’s fall tradition.  

Bridget is a young woman who is about to become roommates with her sweet little Grandma in a rent-controlled apartment in New York City.  However, what Bridget first saw as an easy opportunity quickly turns into mayhem.  It seems that sweet little Nana is running an illegal boutique from their apartment, selling naughty hand-made lingerie to local senior citizens.  

Alyssa DiPaolo of Lincoln and Shari Hoelker of Omaha play Bridget and her grandmother, respectively.  Rounding out the cast are Brenda Jones of Louisville, Ross Mumford, Jestin Jones and Shelia Hansen of Lincoln, Wendy Allen and Melinda Mead of Plattsmouth and Jeff Johnston and Ken Snyder both of Elmwood.  The production is directed by Kevin Colbert.

The production runs October 10, 11, 15-18 and 23-25.  Thursday through Saturday evening shows begin at 7:30pm.  Sunday performances are 2pm matinees.  Tickets are $19 with special discounts offered to groups of twenty or more.  The Lofte is located near the town of Manley in Cass County.  Those interested in tickets should call the Lofte box office at 402-234-2553 or visit their website, www.Lofte.com.
