Murdock Nebraska News

It may be cold and the middle of winter, but there is a lot going on in our community. You can eat pancakes at the school, enter a writing contest, attend a local basketball game. Don't forget about the Trinity Lutheran Church farm auction the end of the month. If you have equipment you would like to consign there is still time.
