Murdock 4th of July

murdock 4th of July lions club

4th of July schedule1

Yes!! We are back to "normal" and Murdock will be having their 4th of July celebration. This is just the START of all the events that will take place on the 4th of July.

The Fun Run and the Fireworks will not be included in this year's ceremony.

Difficulties with manufacturing and shipping have created a very limited amount of fireworks available this year and prices have increased substantially. We are going to be in contact with our suppliers and if product availability increases after the fourth, we may have a late summer shoot.

Thank you
John Stroy

Murdock Playground Updates!

- We were not selected for the 2021 Community Challenge grant through AARP this year.

- We were informed the E-M High School will continue land talks over the next couple years, which rules out utilizing land up by the high school for the current Murdock playground plan.

- We would like to move forward with the current playground plan, but we still need to raise about 30K more dollars.

- If we are unable to raise those funds, we may go back to the playground designer to ask for a smaller modified design.

- We have worked with current donors to raise about $41K and we want to be respectful of those donors to move forward with a playground being installed in Fall 2021.

If you are still considering donating, please reach out to Kristi McHugh at 402-314-5957. We appreciate any donation and are thankful for the community support!

P.S. We hope to have a sign-up in Liberty Circle to create more awareness of the playground, especially for the 4th of July! EMMA GrantSM

You have heard in Christmas in July. Well it's never too early to start thinking about the very popular Holiday Craft Fair.

Glimpse into Murdock History

Continuing with our new series to the weekly news.

These are no ordinary photos, but COLOR photographs. In the 1950s this was almost unheard of then. It was cutting-edge "technology". Thank you to Ramona Oehlerking for the video/images.

Many people have commented to me that Pastor Heim probably wasn't responsible for all these photos. Seems Ed Niemeyer (from the previous photo series) also took photos during this era. The photos were given to Maxine Cline.

It's summer and gardens are in full swing. This young lady looks really proud of her melon. Just look at that smile! Do you know who this might be. I bet her family would love to see this fun photo.
