Elmwood Park Pool Delayed Opening

We regret to report that Elmwood Park's Pool will be opening later than usual.
Please see below and know that we are just as sad as you are.  

 

OMAHA, NE – Due to unforeseeable maintenance circumstances Zorinsky and Elmwood Pool, that were expected to open Saturday, May 30, 2015 will be pushed back into next week.

Flower Baskets are UP!

After so much hard work from so many people, the flower baskets have made it onto the streets of Dundee! They look WONDERFUL!

BIG THANKS to all the guys that spent the entire day hanging them throughout the neighborhood. If you feel inclined to give them a shoulder and arm massage, please do! They could use it. 

Here's a photo of one of the MANY truckloads of flower baskets, and Dan hanging up the first flower basket in the Dundee Business District. (Thanks Dan!)
