EXPANDED ACTIVITIES OFFERED AT LOCAL PUMPKIN PATCH
Bloom Where You’re Planted Farm Announces New Attractions for Fifth Season
Guests attending the fifth-annual Pumpkin Festival at Bloom Where You’re Planted Farm, rural Avoca, NE, will be treated to some new attractions this season. The pumpkin patch and agri-entertainment venue has been expanded for 2009 to include hay rides and the newly renovated Schoolhouse Café.
“For many people, when they think of the ultimate pumpkin patch experience they envision a hay ride out to the pumpkin field. We are very excited to finally be able to offer this experience to our customers,” say farm owners Terry and Teresa Lorensen.
A certified concession kitchen has been added to the 1890’s one-room schoolhouse which the Lorensens moved to the farm and restored last year. Guests can order from the lunch menu which includes hot sandwiches and homemade pie, and then enjoy their meal at tables in the authentically restored classroom.
“This is a one-of-a-kind dining experience. While we’ve been serving lunch for the past three seasons, having a certified kitchen and a building dedicated to the Café will allow us to better serve our customers, will make work easier for our employees, and should offer us new opportunities to produce our own baked goods and food mixes in the future,” Teresa Lorensen said.
Bloom Where You’re Planted Farm’s Pumpkin Festival runs every Friday through Sunday from September 19th to November 1st. Hours are 1:00-6:00 p.m. Fridays and 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The farm is open at other times by appointment for field trips and parties. The $4.00 admission charge includes access to all the attractions on the farm, including the opportunity for every visitor to take a hay ride.
For a complete schedule of events, which include special days such as Military Family Weekend, Doggy Day to benefit the Capital Humane Society, and Ag Day with the Conestoga High School FFA, visit the farm’s website, www.BloomPumpkinPatch.com.

I write to you in hope that you can help me find information regarding the flag of the Village of Eagle NE, so it can be presented properly on Flags of the World. We are interested in any kind of flag - official or unofficial, centennial, former or obsolete flag, or even the flag of some of the departments. To do this, we would need an image of the flag, or even a clear photo of a real flag. (Any graphical format would do: gif, jpg, png, bmp, …) This image would then be used to base a standard FotW image on, which will be used on the website. To do this we hope to add other information about your flag, like the adoption date, the official description and meaning, the name of the flag designer, etc. if available.
I’m also involved in the preparation of a twin-website, Emblems of the World (EotW). For this, I hope you can provide me with an image of the official seal or logo of your village, as well as with the same data as for the flag.
Yours faithfully

Recycling in Eagle!
RecycleLink is now in Eagle! Currently, they have about 40 households in Eagle recycling and would like to let the rest of the town know how easy and much trash has been saved from the landfill because of their participation in recycling at the curb.They will also be contacting the elementary school to see if they would be interested in participating in our Green Schools Grant program. Green Schools is a way RecycleLink gives back to local schools to help raise funds for green education. Last year they raised over $2400 to help purchase recycling containers, plant trees, build a can collection point and host field trips to our recycling facility.
Some quick facts about what they do:
RecycleLink offers every customer a 65 gallon cart to mix all the households recyclables in, no need to sort, peel labels or remove lids
The RecycleLink cart keeps the recyclables in one place on windy days keeping the neighborhoods clean and free of blowing papers
RecycleLink customers in Eagle along with Lincoln area recyclers recycle nearly triple the national average each month by recycling over 70 Lbs a month
RecycleLink customers put their recyclables to work saving them over $25 a month on groceries, dining out, clothing, gift cards, magazines, and much more when using their RecycleBank Points.
Customer can also donate their points to schools and local non profits helping raise money for those in need
