The Fireworks Stand is Open for Business!
Hey everyone, as we all know the 4th of July is coming up and so begins the annual sales of fireworks in Nebraska on June 25th thru the 4th of July. This year is the first year that Nebraska Fire Marshals have legalized the type of fireworks we are allowed to sell. Basically everything that was legal in Missouri is now legal in Nebraska! Lacking Bottle Rockets, and Cherry Bombs, But everything else is now legal here, and I can get it for you at the best prices around! We are selling the number one artillery shell on the market this year as well! Come see me at the Stand for a great selection and even better deals. We have something in our stand for everyone, all ages! Hope to see all of you there! I run this stand, and all of the proceeds go to the Elmwood Volunteer Fire Dept. We are using this money to purchase a new set of Jaws of Life.

University of Nebraska Extension personnel from Douglas/Sarpy, Pawnee and Cass Counties teamed up to present a Dyeing to Design workshop for youth on June 21 at the Cass County fairgrounds. 4-H youth learned about discharge dying of fabric using bleach, sunprinting, shaving cream marbling, and how to use computer technology for designing quilts. The program was implemented to provide youth a more in-depth opportunity to learn about textile design. Youth learned design principles, how science is used in the textile industry, as well as careers related to textile arts. As part of the 4-H program, youth involved in science, engineering, and technology (SET) have the opportunity to apply SET to their 4-H projects, develop related workforce preparedness skills and pursue careers in SET resulting in a workforce that will enable businesses to locate in Nebraska and result in community viability. Youth involved in exploring career and entrepreneurship opportunities result in future increased wage earners that contribute to the economic stability of their communities. Presenters included Carol Fritz, Diane Mayfield, Cathy Raneri, Nancy Urbanec, and Deb Weitzenkamp.

Combing art and chemistry to remove color can be frustrating but this 4-Her has this method under control. A notebook journal of samples was created to track fiber art progress.
