Lots of events to discuss this week-

Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. with the wedding immediately afterwards. The wedding is the production of the world renown Redneck Players and promises to be very funny.

Tickets are $25 and are available at Linder Tire, Plattsmouth State Bank, Jenz Salon, or Groomingdales. I am taking tickets Thursday night-these shows are always fun! All money raised will go to the Kyle Bluhm family.
Plattsmouth Community Schools registration will be on Wednesday, July 15 and Thursday, July 16 from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Middle School Gym.

The Plattsmouth Public Library has also received “The Big Read Grant” again from the National Endowment for the Arts. This year’s activities will be focused around the books, “Our Town” and “the Bridge of San Luis Rey.” We will be holding auditions for a production of “Our Town” and that information will be coming soon! We are very excited about doing this again and look forward to seeing everyone at the events.
