Welcome to Murdock

Great news!! The town recently received a very generous anonymous donation that puts us in reach of building a park!

With our original plans, that leaves us needing about $5K to meet our budgeted cost.
At the last town board meeting, it was agreed upon to review the planned space in town as well as the playground company and installation method. We will plan for breaking ground in early Spring 2022!
This is so exciting and we can’t do this without everyone that has donated. Please continue to spread the word; thank you!!

Thank you to the Elmwood FBLA, businesses, and organizations that planned and held the first Good Neighbor Festival. If this year is any indication it will be bigger and better next year.

The EMMA announced the 2021 Good Neighbor Awards to three people who have all contributed for many years in helping make the Elmwood and Murdock communities a better place to live.

Good Neighbor awards 2021 Dawn Tyrrell Romine

To say this award was a surprise to me is an understatement. Thank you for the nomination, whoever it was, and the support I have received from the community. I thoroughly enjoy everything about the Elmwood-Murdock community from playing the PIANO at church and helping manage and run the Elmwood Farmers Market.

Farmer Market visitor 092021sm

I have the best job there welcoming all the visitors outside of Elmwood and telling them all about our community. The photo below is an example of what the Farmers Market is all about. Bobbie (with the overalls) is from Bellevue and has been following the Farmers Market Group for a couple of years. This was her first visit and as you can see she loved it so much she wanted a photo.

Afterward, they went to the Bess Streeter Aldrich House and Bits and Pieces. Big cities talk about the economic impact of events that come to town. The visitor spent close to $100 in Elmwood at small and local businesses.

Glimpse into Murdock History

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. The photos were given to Maxine Cline.

Fall harvest is now in full swing and so I am going to be posting Harvest memories from years past. Who knows who this farmer is on the tractor?
