FIRST SNOW

FIRST SNOW - Osmond received its first snow of the 2024-25 winter season beginning Friday, November 29. Some light flakes fell throughout the day, although the forecast only called for a "chance" of snow in the morning. The snow continued through Saturday, dropping a couple inches of the white stuff, with frigid temperatures in the single digits accompanying the moisture. A little more also fell on Monday, when cleanup on State Street took care of the small windrow. Warmer temperatures began on Tuesday with a high of 39 degrees predicted. Except for another day in the 20s on Thursday, the rest of the week looks nicer, with temperatures in the 40s and even into the 50s during the weekend. 12/03/2024 06:04 PM

Filling the pantry. . .

Filling the pantry. . .

Last Thursday, the Osmond Community Food Pantry received nearly 1,300 non-perishable food items from St. Mary’s Catholic School students and Immanuel Lutheran Church. Along with recent donations from Trinity Lutheran Church in Foster and several local community members, the pantry is stocked very well for the holidays and the coming year. Thrivent also provided a cash grant to the pantry matching Immanuel’s generous food donations, so it can provide perishable items for local residents’ holiday meals. They just need to ask about this help when they go to visit. The pantry is open most Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and by calling Charlotte Kiichler at (402) 748-3474, Luella Hodson at (402) 750-4156, or Barb Reineke at (402) 748-3612. Residents in need are asked to please take advantage of this service the community is providing. The pantry also offers many other community services. Students delivering items from St. Mary’s (above) were, back row: Gwen Geneski (left), Sunny Geneski, Payton Stech, Michael Vinson, Klaire Stech; front row: Peyton Aschoff, Sam Harder, Emmett Hoffman, Axton Stech, Devin Stech. Carrying in items for the food pantry (at right) were Devin Stech (left) and Axton Stech. 11/27/2024 12:00 AM

Considerations for Cowherd Expansion

Considerations for Cowherd Expansion
