4th of July Celebration

What a great time at the Murdock 4th of July Celebration. I took lots of photos it all started with the Dillon Synovec Memorial Run at 7:30 and for those who wanted breakfast, they found it at Bulldogs.

 The Elmwood Volunteer Rescue Squad was on hand for any health issues during the race and the weather pretty much cooperated. 

Look at these two beautiful ladies!! Doesn't matter that you got up at what time to set up and get organized. 

Julie Synovec and Deb Zoebel manned the registration table and runners and walkers socialized in the early morning. Me, I can't function that early in the morning, much less run. 

Julie Synovec and Deb Zoebel manned the registration table and runners and walkers socialized in the early morning. Many people have made this a tradition every year for the past 10 years and it's a wonderful way to remember Dillon and gather together as friends and family.

ECLIPSE 2017!!!

On Monday, August 21st at approximately 11:25 AM we will find ourselves on the edge of a rare celestial event, a total eclipse of the sun.

This is unique because it will travel through the United States from Salem, Oregon to Charleston South Carolina, dissecting Nebraska from Alliance in the Northwest corner to Falls City in the Southeast tip of the state.

Elmwood is located approximately 4 miles north of the “path of totality”. We will be able to see an eclipse where the moon will almost cover the sun completely.Elmwood Public Library is working with The Elmwood-Murdock School’s science teacher, Laura Stock, to give you the very best information and view-ability possible in our area.

We are planning two events which you and your family can have some hands-on activities to help make these events extra special.

Attend our “Solar Eclipse-2017 Family Night” informational activity at Elmwood Public Library 

Monday, July 24th at 7:00 pm.
