It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, in Elmwood that is and the Goudie house is one of the best displays in town. If you don't know where it is then drive by the street just east of the elementary school after dark.

One of the towns favorite dogs, Hank visited Santa last Saturday.

I'm sure his stocking will be filled with treats and toys.

Elmwood #LittleFreePantry

The Little Free Pantry is located between Hufstader Chiropractor, the Elmwood Meat Market, and the Village Hall.

Elmwood FoodPantry

You may not get out as often, but people are still in need of emergency supplies and cupboards are bare in some Elmwood homes. When you are out shopping pick up a few items for the Take-it-or-leave-it pantry. Maybe even a few Christmas stocking stuffers, Christmas pencils, some Christmas candy, and small things mean so much.

Think of items for Christmas dinner. The stuffing, cans of green beans and cream of mushroom soup for a casserole. Toilet paper, paper towels and even new toothbrushes and toothpaste. Remember getting them in your Christmas stocking?

Work on N-63 Alvo North Realignment

March 15, 2018 (Lincoln, Neb.) — Weather permitting, work is scheduled to continue the week of March 19 on N-63, between Alvo and I-80, according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation.

Knife River, LLC of Sioux City, Iowa has the $11,758,926 contract. Work will include realignment of N‑63, culverts and box culverts, and wetland mitigation. This will be the second of two phases of work.

During this phase, N-63 will be closed to traffic from Reference Post 4+20 (Alvo) to Reference Post 9+68 (Church Road). A marked detour will be in place along I-80 to N-66 to N-50 to US-34 for southbound traffic and along US-34 to N-50 to N-66 to I-80 for northbound traffic. This portion of the project is anticipated to be completed in November 2018.

The Department’s project manager is Jesse De Los Santos of Lincoln. Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously through work zones and along detours.
