Letter To Editor: Old Mill Days will go on with Drags

The great citizens of Neligh and surrounding area:

The Old Mill Days 4th of July celebration will have a couple less events on the schedule. There will no longer be the July 3rd street dance, or the stoplight drags at the airport. After several spectacular years, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has said “NO MORE!”Despite paperwork submissions, begging and pleading, and citing the economic impact it brings to our small, wonderful community; the answer was still “NO!” The NYMC would like to thank everybody that was involved with the drags over the years.

Unfortunately, these events continue to get more and more complicated to organize and get approved.  Regulations, cost, and liability concerns become too involved for a volunteer organization to comply.
The Neligh Young Men’s Club looks forward to your participation and support during the Old Mill Days 4th of July celebration and future endeavors. Again, thank you for your support; past, present, and future.

The Neligh Young Men’s Club
