 Custer County and surrounding area residents will certainly not lack for anything to do this coming holiday weekend, with six local communities planning Indep-endence Day celebrations.
A number of activities will get underway Friday in Arnold, Oconto and Sumner. Events will continue throughout the weekend in those communities, along with July 4th activities in Merna, Comstock and Halsey.
ARNOLD - - A three-day celebration will begin Friday evening with the annual “Night of Thunder” tractor pull at 7 p.m. The pull is located one mile east of Arnold on Highway 92.
The theme for this year’s parade is “125+ Years and Still Growing Great Things.” The parade, which begins at 10:30 a.m., will follow a breakfast at the United Methodist Church and precede a chicken noodle dinner at the Legion Hall.
A kiddie parade, kid’s races, turtle races, red neck olympics, miniature golf and free swimming at the pool will round out Saturday afternoon’s activities.
A barbecue will be in the city park from 6 to 7:30 p.m., followed by a melodrama and music, and fireworks at dusk at Old Mill Park.
The fun continues in Arnold Sunday with a horseshoe tournament at 4 p.m., church in the park at 6:30 p.m. and a concert by “Simple Grace” at 7 p.m.

In his resume, Steve Land describes his objective as “To obtain a position where I can use my skills, knowledge and dedication to help the organization I work for achieve their goals.”
Those who know him, or have had the privilege to work with him, agree that in his many years of service to the Nebraska Department of Roads he has done just that.
Steve has lived in Broken Bow since he was a toddler, moving here with his family at the tender age of four or five. After graduating from Broken Bow High School, he opted to check out life in the big city and moved to Omaha.
However, he says it didn’t take long to discover that way of life was not for him. He returned to his home town, and in March 1969, went to work for the Nebraska Department of Roads. He worked as a highway maintenance man through February 1970, when he was drafted into the United States Army.
