Cass County Fair
It's THIS week!! Anyone who knows me knows that this is my FAVORITE time of the year!!! I have been attending the Cass County Fair since I worked in the Greenwood Farmers Co-op in 1992. At that time the Open Class building was in the unairconditioned building east of the existing open class building.
You can find me in my Tea n' More booth, actually my TEA Toad between the Open Air Auditorium and the 4-H office. Stop by and say hello!!
So with this being said I am encouraging everyone to send me photos from the fair and I will post them in the weekly news for the next month.

Elmwood Pie Ride
Last week's Pie Ride did not disappoint. The Christian Church hosted the pie and Dustin West sang a Gordon Lightfoot tribute.
It was a perfect night to sit in the park and enjoy friends, pie, and some good music.
Just LOOK at that pie and ice cream!! You will have one more time to enjoy this event. Just one!!
Aug 17: Josh Hoyer and Soul Colossal, pie served by the Community Center at the center.
Elmwood Public Library Director Anne Pope is proud to announce the addition of a brand new telescope! This Orion StarBlast 4.5 Reflector Telescope was made possible by a partnership with the Omaha Astronomical Society and the Elmwood Community Foundation.
This project began early this year when we were contacted by the Omaha Astronomical Society. They have a library partnership program where they help provide good-quality telescopes to public libraries at a discounted price. Their volunteers adjust the equipment to make it better suited for public use. What’s great about this unit is that it does not depend upon an unstable tripod. It has a solid base that can sit on a table or even an upturned bucket! It’s very lightweight so it can be transported easily. I tested it out in my backyard and it was very easy to navigate. The view of the moon’s craters was incredible!
The library also working with the elementary school in Elmwood to install a community star-gazing site. We hope to get that finished a little later this year.
Patrons of the Elmwood Public Library may check-out the unit for three days at a time. We hope that many people will be able to take advantage of this new equipment and enjoy the stars!
The Elmwood Public Library would like to congratulate the winners of their recent “Who Was?/Where Is?/What Was . . .?” contest.
Briar Booe, Saylee Mauck and Hadley Greise each won blue ribbon standing and a pair of Bluetooth earbuds! Bryson Jennings’ efforts were also impressive. He was awarded second place standing and an aluminum water bottle. All winning entries are posted in the library window so that the public can enjoy them.
The contest was run in an effort to celebrate the newly improved youth non-fiction collection at the library. It was funded by grants from the Nebraska Library Committee and Penguin Random House Publishing.
The Elmwood Library serves the areas of Elmwood, Murdock, and Eagle.
It’s open Monday through Thursday and Saturday mornings as well.
