Aerial View Of 'Yard Art Contest' Entries; Judging Is Saturday

You've probably seen marking flags all over Neligh this week. But have you seen them from the air?

In honor of Neligh being proclaimed "Flag Capital of Nebraska" Blackburn's Manufacturing challenged the town to a “Yard Art Contest,” where residents used marking flags, provided for free by Blackburn, to create designs in their lawn. 

Scroll to the bottom of the page to see a photo gallery taken from above to show the designs that were created by 2:30 p.m. Friday. 

The yard art is set to be judged Saturday, June 13, with prizes for the first three places. The winners will be announced exclusively on the Antelope County News on Saturday night.

Prizes are 
First Place: Two tickets to Montgomery Gentry at the Antelope County Fair, $100 in Neligh Big Bucks, a Neligh jacket and two passes to the Neligh Young Men’s Club street dance. 

Second Place: Two tickets to the Antelope County Fair Demo Derby, $50 in Neligh Big Bucks, a Neligh t-shirt and two passes to the Neligh Young Men’s Club street dance.

Third Place: Two tickets to the Antelope County Fair bull riding, $25 in Neligh Big Bucks, a Neligh t-shirt and two passes to the Neligh Young Men’s Club street dance.

Anyone with questions can contact Schindler by emailing krista@blackburnflag.com. 

These are some of the creations the residents of the community have made so far.
