First Ever Such Event

(GERING, Neb.) — A first ever event of its kind is to be held at the Scotts Bluff National Monument on Thursday.

Scotts Bluff will host its first-ever Naturalization Ceremony this week in partnership with Empowering Families : Empoderando Familias, Scotts Bluff National Monument, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on June 13! This momentous occasion was made possible in part thanks to our colleague Valeria, who connected with the regional USCIS field officer to showcase the community and incredible history at the Scotts Bluff National Monument. This ceremony being held in Scotts Bluff is a truly special moment for our clients in the panhandle, as they will get to celebrate alongside their families and community members.

Watch out for the rattlesnake on Omaha Beach if you're out at Lake McConaughey. At 5 p.m. last night on July 23rd, there was a snake spotted. Pretty good size. Please be aware of your surroundings while enjoying the lake. They're out and this heat will have them looking for water and cool places as the summer continues. Muhammad Ali once said, service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth. The Hershey Volunteer Fire Department posted that meaningful and timeless message yesterday as a reminder that the recent fires highlights the amazing communities we serve. If you want to give back, contact your local fire department. There is a construction update in Torrington. The East D Street construction project is in its final stages and there will be some closure changes over the next few days. If you haven't driven through the area lately, East D Street is now open to East 28th Avenue, which provides an easy connection to Main Street. The Chadron Area 9-1-1 lines were down yesterday. They have been restored after they learned that a fiber optic had been cut at an unknown location. The Mitchell Volunteer Fire Department recently posted that they responded to a grass fire on July 20th in the area of Murphy Road and Highway 29 north of Mitchell and Sioux County. It was likely started from a lightning strike as thunderstorms moved through the area. Luckily, the rain from those storms put out the fire before it could get very big. They did respond with eight trucks and multiple personnel. The Alliance Fire Department project is complete. They wrote, "she's a beaut, Clark. After a six-month refurbishment project, we're happy to welcome number 342 home." Thank you to Frytech Inc. for all your hard work and taking our vision and making it a reality.
