Thank you

The Cass County Fair

Once again the fair is behind us but the memories linger. Here are a few pictures to show you what a good county fair is like! Thanks to everyone who works hard to organize and implement the fair. And thanks to everyone who participates in the fair events. That just makes it even better!

Whitney Tiedemann is quite possibly the best artist ever. My opinion.

Elmwood Murdock Merchants Association booth displayed information from area businesses.

The EMMA Good Neighbor Award Certificates. What's that? Yep, my name is on one! Thank you to whomever nominated me!

The Elmwood Auto Care Plus display shows all the services they provide.

The FBLA displayed their information at the EMMA booth, too.

Amanda Cronk is looking HOT! She participated in Josoff Fitness Center Summer Challenge and lost 50 lbs! Whoo hoo! Go, Amanda!

Sheriff Bill Brueggemann with some of the kids from his fan club.

Don and Amanda both are looking healthy!

If you haven't heard of the Scenic Weeping Water Valley Association you should check out their website.

Bloom Where You're Planted is gearing up for the Fall pumpkin season!

Bonnie Brewer sold raffle tickets for the beautiful quilt she made...see how colorful it is.

Heartland Flooring of Elmwood had a booth at the fair and they also advertised Romero Drywall and Gather Boutique.

If you haven't stopped in to visit Gather Boutique you really should. Jen has some great things there!

This is one of the trophys given at the Pedal Tractor Pull.

Raeanna Jordan participated in the barrel races and placed 1st!

Valerie Miller made this dress.

Cool idea for a planter!

Many quilts were entered.

And there was a lot of canned goods, too!

Everyone was winning these really huge dogs. Everyone but me, that is. But where would I put it?

The Boy Scouts let the kids show who had the right stuff.

Ben Willey

The Willey Family would like to invite you to participate in the 11th annual Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk on October 6, 2012. This even supports the Down Syndrome Association for Families of Nebraska (DSAF). The monies raised from the Step Up Walk will pay for information for parents and educators, programs for families impacted by Down Syndrome, fun outings for our family, and much more!

How can you help? Many different ways! You can support Ben’s Brigade by walking or donating. You can sign up to do either by going to our team fundraising page by clicking here. Adults are $20 and Kids are $10 and if registered by September 14th you get a free t-shirt with your registration. Students and faculty of Elmwood - Murdock School can register for free by joining the Elmwood Murdock School Team by clicking here. (School team registrations need to enter a coupon code of "school" and do not get a t-shirt so wear school colors.)

The walk is 1 mile and starts at Antelope Park (by 33rd and A streets), but there will be so much more than just the walk! There will be food and fun for the whole family with the String Beans, Der Viener Schlinger, Face Painting and much more.

August 31st is the deadline for the Early Bird Fundraiser. For each $175 we raise by that date, Ben gets a fact poster displayed along the walk route (limit 3). We used some of our previous year’s posters on a float at the Murdock 4th of July parade and won 2nd place for best float. September 14th is the deadline for getting a free t-shirts with your paid registration. So don't wait, register or donate today.

Let's make this walk a successful one!

We appreciate everyone's support.

Thank You!

The Willey Family

The Elmwood-Murdock Booster Club would like to inform you that they have received reports of poor quality printing on a couple of the pages of the 2012-2013 Booster Club calendar. The printing problems seem to be with the ads on the first page and on one of the subsequent pages in the calendar. If this is a problem with your calendar, you are asked to return your calendar to the Elmwood and/or Murdock School sites for a new calendar. If we run out of calendars we will take your name and call you when the replacement calendars arrive. We would ask you call the Elmwood and/or Murdock School site to make sure we have a replacement calendar on hand prior to making the trip to the school. You will be asked to turn in your old calendar prior to getting a new calendar so we can receive credit from the printing company for the returned calendars.
