MurdockNebraska Flowers

There are people in Murdock Nebraska who take pride in our town and add special touches without even anyone asking. Have you noticed the flowers in the planters throughout town? How did they get there? What happened when we had several inches of rain in May?

The barrels were full of water and the flowers died. How did they get replanted and who did it? Well, a little bird told me that Linda Glantz was responsible so if you see her tell her thanks!!

CommunityShreddingDay The Murdock Lions Club, along with the Elmwood-Murdock Merchants Association, Corn Growers State Bank, and the Murdock Volunteer Fire Department is sponsoring a Community Shredding Day. See the attached flyer.

We all have ways within our various organizations to honor and thank individuals who put forth an exemplary effort for the organization. But how do you thank someone who voluntarily puts forth an outstanding effort for the entire community or goes out of their way to help out a neighbor?

Well, the Elmwood-Murdock Merchants’ Association (EMMA) Good Neighbor Award is the answer to your question. This award recognizes individuals who make the Murdock and Elmwood communities a better place to live.

Maybe you have received the Good Neighbor Award yourself—remember the thrill of riding the float in the 4th of July parade, receiving your certificate, or seeing it posted at the Cass County Fair for all to see?

Take time to pay it forward and nominate another deserving community member.

Murdock 4th of July Celebration

Are you getting ready for the 4th of July yet, it's just around the corner. There is the parade in Murdock and then fireworks!

If you have an announcement to add to the 4th of July lists please send them to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I will insert them into the list of activities.

Yes, there are fireworks in Murdock again, no need to travel any further than our own community.

The rebirth of fireworks in Murdock for the 4th of July celebration started out as just a few neighbors lighting some things off in their own driveways.

Murdock 4th of July Fireworks

But John and Rosetta Stroy got together and decided to join our shows together to make the show even better for their friends and families.

That lasted only 1 year as we decided that the area we were lighting off in was entirely too restrictive and could be dangerous. They then decided to check for permission to light at the ball fields and take up donations to help finance the show and start inviting any and everyone that wanted to come.

John grew up watching fireworks in the same location when we were children and agreed that it would be great to give a good finish to all of the other 4th of July festivities that happen in the normally quiet little community of Murdock!

The show has been an extremely successful venture and continues to gain in popularity each year. Once again this year's show is gearing up and we doubt anyone will be disappointed when we liven up the are with beautiful colors, flashes, sparks, screeches, and some thunderous booms at dusk the night of the 4th to celebrate the birth of our wonderful country!!!!

We would also like to thank ALL of the are business and patrons who contribute by donating so this show can happen. Without those donations, it just wouldn't be possible!

Grand Opening of Sideline Power Retail and Rental Shop

DJI Crop

Stop by for the grand opening ceremony on July 1st, 2017 from 9 AM – 1 PM

Refreshments and giveaways from DJI.

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 storefront 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.
