Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First

May Day! May Day! Time Marches On

Banner County

Good morning on this beautiful final week of April! Unbelievable that over a fourth of the year has already come and gone. As the song says, time marches on.

Today, Thursday, April 25th the Calvary Lutheran Church in Scottsbluff will serve a Grab & Go Lunch between noon and 2 p.m. if you are in the area. They are located at 17 E, 17th Street, and this is a free will offering.

The kindergarten class will be taking a little field trip to Gering to the Legacy of the Plains Museum. Always exciting, and a fun place for the boys especially.

The following day there is a preview of the changing of the guard at the school house as the pre-K and Kindergarten Round-Up will be held, usually mid-morning until early afternoon.

The folks in LaGrange will have the first of a two day Spring Craft Fair on the 26th from noon until 7 p.m. and on the 27th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Memorial Building.

The new movie for the weekend at the Midwest Theater will begin on Friday the 26th with two showings. On the 27th it’s at 7 p.m. and on the 28th it’s at 1:30 p.m. The movie is “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” which also will be showing the following week at the Goodhand Theatre in Kimball. See ad on Page A2 for the times and more information on the Kimball showing.

Also on Friday, at 5 p.m. there will be “Paws & Claws: A Park Lane Jewelry Fundraiser” for the Panhandle Humane Society. This will begin at 5 p.m. at 1212 Circle Drive in the Platte Valley Companies community room in Scottsbluff.

Sunday afternoon, the 28th, the Monument Dog Park in Gering will have a spring event with special activities, treats, a 50/50 raffle, a “special visitor” and more. The fun begins at 1 p.m.

On Tuesday, the 30th, the 2nd graders will be taking a field trip to Bridgeport to join in the Agsplosion! Great time here. The high school track team will be at Kimball that day and the middle school track team will be in Morrill. Safe travel to all of you throughout the week. Good luck, behave and have fun!

Wednesday is May 1st and I don’t think they do much for “May Day” anymore, but yeah for May anyway!

Here is a heads-up ... the spring concert and art show at the school will be on May 2nd.

Have a great week and take care until the next time. Barb Cross 436-7152.
