Library hosts second teen-only event

Library hosts second teen-only event

“The second teen event at Bridgeport Public Library was a little quieter than the first, but not lacking in fun,” said Library Director Melissa Butler when five junior high and high school students attended a Cricut discovery event on Thursday night last week. Students learned how to use Cricut software and use the machine to cut colored vinyl and apply it to a black plastic tumbler to take home. All supplies, including the Cricut, were supplied through the Youth Excellence Grant from the Nebraska Library Commission. Imagination was supplied by the youth. 04/13/2023 03:00 AM

Investing in future leaders

Investing in future leaders

This spring I have been delighted to greet so many young Nebraskans from the Third District visiting Washington on school and family trips. It is always inspiring to see their patriotic curiosity in government service and hear the hopefulness in their questions. I have also appreciated the opportunity to visit several schools and learning centers during my travels in the Third District. Nebraska has a strong tradition of investment in younger generations, and I am always grateful to meet the dedicated sponsors and educators who invest in these students every day. The importance of building up our nation’s future leaders cannot be overstated, and there are several ways I seek to accomplish this through my office. 04/13/2023 03:00 AM

Historic agreement seals purchase of fairgrounds by the county

Morrill County has reached a momentous agreement with the Morrill County Rodeo Farm and Ranch Association to purchase seven acres of the Morrill County Fairgrounds just west off of Highway 88 south of Bridgeport, including the animal show buildings and exhibition hall. A long time in the making, Morrill County was the last county in the state who held a fair, not jointly with another county, that didn’t own its own fairgrounds. 04/13/2023 03:00 AM
