Time to Fiddle Around!
Greenblatt & Seay proudly announce the FIFTEENTH ANNUAL SCHOOLHOUSE FIDDLING BEE. This historical, hysterical event will take place on Sunday, October 9, at 2:30 PM, downstairs in the Old Avoca, Nebraska Schoolhouse. In the Open Division, fiddlers will play a hoedown, a waltz, and a tune of choice. There will also be other divisions of competition available for the adventurous fiddlers, including a Singing Fiddler's Contest, a Twin Fiddler's Contest, a Fee-Fi-Faux Fiddler's Contest (fiddle tunes played on any instrument other than a fiddle), and a Hocus-Pocus Contest (cross-tuning, sound effects, dancing, etc.), which will give fiddlers an opportunity to play tunes that are usually not allowed in any other contest. The prizes for the winners in the Open Division are $100 for 1st place, $50 for 2nd place, and $25 for 3rd place. Prizes will also be awarded for 1st place in the other contests. Registration for contestants starts at 1:30 PM the day of the FIDDLING BEE. Admission is $10.00 for adult, $5.00 for students, and $1.00 for children. Fiddlers and their back-ups are admitted for free. For more information, call 402-275-3221, log on to www.greenblattandseay.com, or e-mail debby@greenblattandseay.com.
=====================================================
A 30-year-old Lincoln Southeast High graduate was among the dead Saturday when a U.S. Army helicopter was shot down in western Afghanistan.
Sgt. Patrick Hamburger, 30, a member of the Nebraska Army National Guard, was confirmed dead Sunday by his family. He was one of 30 Americans killed when the CH-47 Chinook helicopter reportedly was brought down by enemy fire.
He was also the kind of guy who helped his girlfriend raise her 13-year-old daughter from a previous relationship as well as the couple's own 2-year-old daughter — and planned to propose marriage when he got home, Chris Hamburger said. His girlfriend, Candie Reagan is from rural Elmwood/Murdock. Candie's parents, Merl and Deb Merchant own MEMCO, Inc. in Elmwood. If you haven't seen them in the store lately they have been a little busy.
RIP Sgt. Patrick Hamburger. Your friends and family will miss you dearly.
