FFA 4-on-4 Volleyball Tournament - Feb 25th

Community service sounds like such a boring and deciduous job. Garden County FFA decided last year to find a fun way to support local non-profit groups. This year will be their second annual 4-on-4 Volleyball Tournament. People from all across the panhandle are invited to participate in the fundraiser in which all proceeds will be donated to the JR Barnett Memorial fund. The tournament will start at 8:30 on Saturday, Feb 25th at the Garden County High School in Oshkosh, NE. Entry fees are $30 per team. Pool play in the morning will be used to seat teams in the afternoon tournament. We will be paying back the top three teams in the tournament. Teams may have subs signed up but must have at least two females on the court at any given time. Concession stands will be open. Registration forms and the entry fee are due on Feb 17th. You may contact the FFA Chapter at ffa.gardencounty@gmail.com with any questions, rules, or registration forms.   more

Vote for Oshkosh

GET ON THE BAND WAGON! Will you pledge a few minutes a day to promote Garden County on the Readers’ Digest “We Hear You America” contest? Go to the website www.wehearyouamerica.readersdigest.com to register to vote. An e-mail address may only be registered once but you can vote as many times as you want from that address. (Just a heads up when you register, you may want to uncheck the two small boxes below the registration form so you don’t get on “mailing lists”.) If you don’t commonly surf the web or you’re not comfortable with registering, will you commit to telling one person a day about the contest? If you have Facebook friends, ask them to cast votes for Oshkosh. (General consensus is we need the funds to repair the Oshkosh swimming pool). Ask your co-workers to vote. Every vote counts! The number of votes determines the winners. The top 18 vote getters will receive prizes ranging from $50,000 for first place to $5,000 for 18th place. (Arthur, Nebraska, has amassed 345,567 votes! Surely Garden County can surpass that!) Please register and vote every day! Spread the word to all you know!   more
