IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM EAGLE VISION:
Eagle Vision is looking for individuals to join our committee and help with community events throughout the year. Some of our events include, but are not limited to, the Easter Egg Hunt in the park, Breakfast with Santa at the school, Miss and Little Miss Eagle, and the BIGGEST event of all, Eagle Fun Day. If we do not get more volunteers, we are at a very serious risk of losing these events for the community. We are asking the community members of Eagle to please step forward to help us out and volunteer. If we do not get more volunteers soon, we may be forced to start eliminating some community events. We hold monthly meetings on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:00PM at Bailey’s Local in Eagle. Please reach out to us with any questions or to volunteer! You can contact us at

I, Jayden Speed, am excited to share some big news ! I’m officially running for the Nebraska Legislature to represent Nebraska Legislature, District 2.
Our campaign is dedicated to addressing the critical issues facing our district:
Ending High Property Taxes: For over 30 years, Nebraskans have struggled with a property tax crisis. I am committed to reducing the tax burden on working families, farmers, ranchers, and small businesses by transforming our tax system to eliminate high property taxes once and for all.
Defending Public Education: Quality education is the cornerstone of our children's future and our communities. I will advocate for increased state funding for public education to reduce local schools' reliance on property tax levies and ensure our schools remain the heart of our small towns.
Revitalizing the Rural Economy: Family farms and small businesses are the backbone of our rural economy. I will support policies that protect family farms from big agriculture monopolies, champion the right to repair for farmers and ranchers, and promote incentives for small businesses and reliable rural broadband to rejuvenate our Main Streets and preserve our rural way of life.
Visit our website at www.speedfornebraska.com to learn more about our platform, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming events.
I look forward to seeing you at the kickoff event and working alongside you throughout this campaign.

COME ON OVER!
This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.
Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
