NEST on the Farm Fun Photo
June 30 Deadline to Enter!
Photo entries to the 2017 NEST on the Farm Fun Photo Drawing, sponsored by the Nebraska Educational Savings Trust (NEST), are due Friday, June 30, State Treasurer Don Stenberg reminded Nebraskans today. Stenberg is Trustee of NEST.
Six winners each will receive a $1,000 contribution to a NEST 529 college savings account. The winners will be recognized August 26 at the Family Fun Zone stage at the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island.
NEST on the Farm is intended to highlight Nebraska’s rich tradition of farm and ranch life and to encourage Nebraska families to begin saving for higher education when their children are young. In the drawing, Nebraska residents are asked to submit photos of children age 13 or younger in farm and ranch settings or photos taken by the children themselves in farm or ranch settings.
Entries will be divided into two age groups: newborn to age 5 and ages 6 to 13. One winner will be selected in each age group from each of the three congressional districts in Nebraska for a total of six winners.
“Hosting our NEST on the Farm winners and their families at the Nebraska State Fair is one of the highlights of the year for my office. We are always curious to see what images these young photographers and their parents capture in their pictures of Nebraska farms and ranches. This is a great opportunity to combine Nebraska’s largest industry, agriculture, with a fun and easy-to-enter scholarship opportunity for Nebraska children,” Treasurer Stenberg said.
“We are thrilled to contribute to the growth of six children’s college savings through the Farm Fun Photo Drawing,” said Deborah Goodkin, Managing Director, Savings Plans, First National Bank of Omaha. First National Bank of Omaha is Program Manager of NEST.
“We enjoy making things easy for our account owners. With this scholarship, going outside and having a photoshoot in a farm or ranch setting can lead to a potential $1,000 in college savings. Children, parents, grandparents and other loved ones are encouraged to enter. We look forward to seeing the fun and creative photos,” Goodkin said.
To enter the NEST on the Farm drawing, the beneficiary must be age 13 or younger as of June 30, 2017. Photos may be submitted by email at NEST@fnni.com, following the official guidelines, available at NEST529.com/scholarships and at treasurer.nebraska.gov/csp/scholarships/.
To find out more about NEST College Savings Plans, visit www.NEST529.com or treasurer.nebraska.gov.

2017 VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL, MURRAY, NE

NOTE FROM TOWN HALL...
Many of us know how convenient it is to pay our utility bills electronically. No writing out checks, no stamps or envelopes, just a couple of clicks and it's done.
The Village of Murray would like to know how many residents would actually use this service for payment of their water bills. Electronic payments would cost the Village a small amount per transaction to process, however the higher the number of users, the less it would cost.
If you're interested in this service, call Eileen at Town Hall, 402-235-2119. and ask that your name be added to the 'interested' list. It's not a guarantee that this will happen, but it will give the Board a good idea of how many are interested and if it should be implemented.
Pass this word on to your neighbors, and ask them to call if they, too, are interested.

Grand Opening
Sideline Power Retail and Rental Shop
Matt Starr, CEO of Sideline Power, enthusiastically announces the opening of the Sideline Power Retail and Rental Shop in downtown Greenwood, NE. “We frequently get visitors stopping by our office requesting product demos or even just to see what’s new on the market,” mused Starr, “so opening a store front seemed like a logical progression for the business.” While customers are able to purchase equipment outright, Sideline Power also provides equipment rentals for the most popular products they market. “We know someone might not want to spend a significant amount of money on a drone that they might only use once or twice. That’s why we offer rental programs for items like DJI Drones, GoPro Cameras, Anchor Speaker Systems, and more...” Starr stated. Need a loud speaker for a special event? Sideline Power has you covered. Need a drone for some cool on-the-fly-footage? Sideline Power has you covered.
Sideline Power’s Retail and Rental Shop is currently open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30 AM – 5 PM, Thursdays from 8:30 AM – 6 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM – 1 PM. Come by 216 Highway 6, Greenwood, NE 68366.
Take some time to check out the retail products for sale, or sign up to rent a piece of equipment you’ve always wanted to try. Stop by for the grand opening ceremony on July 1st, 2017 from 9 AM – 1 PM for refreshments and giveaways from DJI.
