The 4-H Revolution of Responsibility was alive and well as Cass County 4-Hers participated in the latest 4-H summer workshops targeting elements of the 4-H Strategic Plan - STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), Ag Literacy, Career Development, Citizenship and Leadership and Healthy Living while learning valuable life skills and having FUN!

Blast Off!! Raelyn Wilson watches as Alexis Ahrens and Reba Wilson strain to capture the film canister “rocket” after its carbon dioxide blast off during the Go Green Science Fun Day. 4-Hers also experienced the Incredible, Edible Aquifer, a Clay Pot Weathervane, CD Gardening, a Toothbrush EcoBot Challenge, and a Scientrific! T-Shirt.

Brooklyn and Jillian Rathe are finished with their “hotdog” pillowcases – one each to enter in the fair and one each to donate to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota after participating in the Weeping Water Whiz Kidz 4-H Club sewing workshop.

THE LOFTE - The Producers
Mel Brooks' Hit, 'The Producers' at Lofte Community Theatre Manley, NE [July 10, 2013] - Mel Brooks' classic tale of Broadway shenanigans, 'The Producers' is playing at the Lofte Community Theatre in Manley. 'The Producers,' opens on Friday, July 19. Main characters Max Biailystock (played by Harold L. Scott of Lincoln) and Leo Bloom (played by Cory Misek also of Lincoln) along with voluptuous Ulla (played by Emma Rasmussen of Omaha) take the audience on a romp of outrageous in-your-face humor. Classic songs include, 'Springtime for Hitler,' 'Keep it Gay,' and 'When you Got it, Flaunt It.' Kevin Colbert of Weeping Water is Artistic Director. Betty Colbert is the Musical Director and Noelle Bohaty is choreographer. We suggest PG-13 for this show. Production dates are July 19-21, 25-28 and August 1-4. Ticket prices are $18. All shows begin at 7:30pm except for Sunday afternoons which are 2pm matinees. Reservations can be made by calling the Lofte box office at 402-234-2553 or purchased online at www.Lofte.com.
