On Sunday, June 20th, the Plattsmouth Main Street Association is sponsoring an “Old Fashioned Father’s Day in the Park” at Rhylander park in Plattsmouth. As you can see from the attached flyer, the featured event will be an old-time base ball game. As a result we are recruiting players for our local team, “The Cass County Railroad Ruffians” and we invite you to choose a member of your organization as your representative on the team.
This will be a game of light-hearted fun and friendly competition. The rules of 1860 are a much less strenuous game than modern baseball and 9 innings will last less than 2 hours. In fact, the pitcher throws underhand and is encouraged to throw the ball where the batter requests it to be thrown. Also, it is an “out” if the ball is caught without having touched the ground OR after one bounce. So, as you can see, this game will move along quite quickly. I have seen the Wichita team play. They play for fun and love to “razz” each other and the opposing team. They told me that they win about 50% of their games.
This will require no financial contribution on the part of your organization. Our only hope is that you will bring your families out to enjoy the day and share in the fun and relaxation of a simpler era.
Please let us know by May 27th if you do or do not have have someone who is interested in playing on the Cass County Railroad Ruffians base ball team for this event.
Sincerely,
Jan Sandoz, Day in the Park Event Coordinator

Thanks for helping to keep YOUR LOUISVILLE
Newsletter fresh and up-to-date!
Dear Louisvillians,
June is in full-swing and with it comes the higher temperatures and
the muggy, humid afternoons after morning rains. What do you do in the
summertime? Is this a more or less relaxing time of the year for you?
Do you go on vacations? Do you try to tackle those unfinished projects
lurking in your basement? Perhaps you spend time outdoors with your
garden or grill. Maybe you’re busy attending summer camps and sports
activities. In thinking about all of our summer plans, I was thinking
about all of the local events and activities that you might attend.
Here’s some advice for your summer plans, though I’m sure you could add
to the list as well. These are simply suggestions…enjoy your summer!
1. Attend the local town celebrations. It’s a well-known fact that
there are town and village celebrations taking place all over Nebraska
on any given day and/or weekend. Some of these are quite creative and
boast many different traditions and fanfare. In fact, five miles down
the road, Springfield, NE is celebrating this weekend. Perhaps some of
you know of other celebrations taking place in our area. If so, feel
free to e-mail so I can include the details for our readers.
2. Go to your local library and check out a book…or an audiobook…or
a video! Here in Louisville, there are summer reading programs taking
place for the children, and there are many books available for
check-out for all ages. Read to your child. Read to your parent.
Read a book that a friend has recommended to you. Or, simply pick a
book up off the shelf that strikes your fancy. Slow down and relish
the story that’s unfolding beneath your fingertips.
3. Enjoy nature. That’s a fairly broad statement, and it’s intended
to be that way. I think that our beautiful area boasts so many
picturesque landscapes and scenes just waiting to be photographed,
written about, enjoyed, and talked about. Visit the state parks in our
area. Take a walk around town and venture down an unknown road or
path. Go fishing. Take a hike. Go for a bike ride. Attend a ball
game in the evening. There are no limits to enjoying the outdoors
during the summertime. Take advantage of the warmer temperatures and
enjoy!
Have a wonderful week, Louisvillians!
Your Louisville Editor,
Paula
editor@louisvillenebraska.com
P.S. In preparation for next week's newsletter, I am asking for volunteers to respond to the following prompt: "My dad is the BEST because..." Please e-mail me your brief statements, including whatever you feel most compelled to write about. Include your name and your dad's (if you wish) or you may remain anonymous. I would like to include some of the samples to celebrate Father's Day. Thanks so much! :)
