Bulldogs Restaurant - WInter Hours

We are so lucky to still have a restaurant/pub/bar in Murdock. So many small towns in Nebraska do not have a place to eat out. Why is this important?

Bulldogs 2018

Aside from the fact you are supporting a local business, their family and local jobs. You are making sure a local business remains in business and you will have a place to eat in the future.

Think of all the reasons people eat out.

Busy family going to their kid's ball game. No time to make dinner
Both parents work and too tired to make dinner,
Company coming into town and the house and you haven't gone grocery shopping.
A place to gather with friends.
The men are hunting, girls night out.
Girls are on a "day trip" guys night out.
The food is delicious, company is great.
So how do we make sure to keep

Make sure to note the revised winter hours.

Elmwood - Murdock 4th Graders selling Bakers Chocolates

Since 1992 the Elmwood-Murdock 4th graders have been selling Bakers chocolate meltaways to raise money for their Spring Nebraska History field trip. This year the selling season is extended. Not only will they be selling to neighbors friends and family, but they will be extending their reach and hopefully funds raised.

Living Nativity Returns to Cass County

This living nativity is the only one in the state of Nebraska. It is quickly becoming an annual tradition with local families.

Stop by on the following dates. Bring a friend and consider bringing your local church youth group. This would not be possible without the volunteers of local residents and 4-H clubs who donate their time and several animals for the various nativity scenes.

elmwood holiday extravaganza 1

Presenting the Cast of In-Laws, Outlaws, and Other People (That Should be Shot) We are so excited to have so many returning Born-In-A-Barn players as well as some new faces! Performances start December 7th, and remember, tickets make great holiday gifts, so be sure to reserve yours now:

More about In-Laws, Outlaws, and Other People (That Should be Shot): It is 6 pm and the Douglas family is busily preparing for their annual Christmas Eve dinner. After robbing a neighborhood liquor store, high strung and irritable Tony, and his dim-witted side-kick Vinny find themselves in need of a hide-out. A comic treasure that is sure to leave you in stitches while celebrating the true meaning of Christmas.
