Cancellations, Postponements, Modifications

Bulldogs - Social distancing, and take out.

We are doing everything we can to keep our customers and staff safe, because of this we will be serving drinks in disposable cups, forks will be plastic, and plates will be the Chinet plates. We feel that this will be our safest form of dining for a while!

Uncovered Murdock History

Thank you to John Guehlstorff for the Murdock historical and lifestyle photographs.

John's Grandpa (Ed) was an avid photographer. He would take photos of any event that went on around Murdock. From family reunions to everyday happenings. When he passed his grandson (John E Guelstorff III) inherited his camera along with his photo processing equipment and all of his negatives. Recently he found some undeveloped negatives of Murdock

Stay tuned in future weeks for more peeks into Murdock history

Zero Hour - Cass Local - Listen Audio
www.CassLocal.com

A major goal for the CassLocal.com project, was to make small business support as convenient as possible. If you have a small business, you know that job one, is to make your businesses as simple, and convenient as possible to interact with.

The Corona $1200 checks, are starting to arrive this week. We know that some fortunate Nebraskans are not desperate and might consider helping struggling small businesses, Churches and Non-Profit organizations with a donation or better yet buying Gift Cards. We encourage restaurants, bars, basically any small businesses to get a Gift Card account from companies like Square. This is a convenient way for fortunate Nebraskan's to inject life saving cash into the business, in echange for Goods and Services later when the storm passes. None of this is possible, unless you add your business or Organization to www.CassLocal.com free. Any questions? TEXT VM/402-968-0821
