Fiddle Workshop
The Old Avoca (Nebraska) Schoolhouse will be hosting a Fiddle Workshop with Daniel Slosberg on Sunday, July 31, 2011, from 1 PM - 3 PM. Daniel Slosberg has been playing fiddle since the age of five. Since 1999, he has been performing as Pierre Cruzatte (the fiddler on the Lewis & Clark expedition) in schools, libraries, museums, and historical sites throughout the United States. During the fiddle workshop, Slosberg will discuss and demonstrate and teach Metis fiddling (which includes tapping your feet at the same time), how to play for dancers, etc. This workshop is for fiddlers and string players of any age and experience.
For more information about Dan Slosberg, log on to his web-site at www.cruzatte.com. To see and hear a couple of samples of his music, log on to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1u7Z_zySOU, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRVIJySASRI&feature=related.
The Workshop takes place in the historic Old Avoca Schoolhouse, in Avoca, Nebraska. Pre-registration is required, and enrollment is limited. The fee is $20.00 per musician.

Lofte Theatre Awards Scholarship
Each year the Lofte Community Theatre in Manley awards a scholarship to a graduating senior who plans to further their education. This year's scholarship winner is Katie Schmitt of Murdock.
Katie first came to the Lofte after seeing her cousin Courtney Meyer (a past Lofte scholarship winner) at the old barn in the musical production, "Bye Bye Birdie." "It looked like she was having such a great time and I knew that I wanted to be in a Lofte show someday," says Katie.
In 2008 Katie got a role in "The Sound of Music." "I loved how everyone in the production became such great friends; almost like family. One of my funniest memories is from that show. One day the kids were singing 'Do-Re-Mi' and Millard Carnes said, 'Oh! It's Tea with Jam and Bread? I always thought it was Tea with Jan and Fred!'"
Katie's advice to people thinking of coming and volunteering at the Lofte, "I would tell them go for it. Being part of the Lofte is more than just putting on a play, it's making a summer full of memories that will last a lifetime. It is a lot of work, don't get me wrong, but in the end it's totally worth it. By the end of your first show you'll see that you've grown. You've grown in your respect for theater, you've grown in your talents and abilities, your friendships have grown, and you yourself have grown in maturity and knowing who you are."
Katie currently lives in Murdock with mom, dad and one sister. She will be attending Grace University in Omaha this fall and majoring in Worship Arts and Biblical Studies. This summer she is also looking forward to going to Orlando and attending the National FBLA Conference. You'll also be able to see her and her sister in this summer's musical production, "Annie."
The Lofte congratulates Katie Schmitt on all of her accomplishments and wishes her good luck for her future. We consider ourselves so lucky to be associated with the young stars who are the leaders of tomorrow.

City Wide Clean Up Day was a huge success! It lasted past the deadline.
This was the line at 11:50! And there were more trucks coming down the road.
The 3 Man Water Balloon Sling Shot was a hit again!
Emma learns the art of water balloons.
Emma and Ta'Riah enjoy the pool while Bryan loads the squirt gun.
The marshmallow guns were also a big hit. We went through two bags of marshmallows. We are tracking them into the house along with rocks that are sticking to the bottom of our shoes.
Zack learned how to use the marshmallow gun and clearly had the upper hand.
Burniece and Margaret were ready to serve customers at the Midwest Express Saturday.
Bradly Cunningham stopped to visit us last week. He is currently stationed in Afghanistan and will return around Thanksgiving time. We wish him well and look forward to his safe return!
My cousin, Marcy, practices her princess wave while paddle boating at Platte River State Park.
Fishing was a hot activity, too.
A Fish Fry is a tradition at the family reunion.
Millie and Bryan are waiting for the fish.
If you hike the trail by the waterfall you will see some beautiful sites.
Here is the waterfall.
We highly recommend Platte River State Park for family reunions. There is a ton of things for the kids to do and parents don't have to worry about them. The fishing, shooting range, horseback riding, swimming, paddle boating, crafts, and trail hiking kept everyone busy.
