We would like to say thank you to everyone who came to our 1st Portal Field Day! We hope you had fun, I know we sure did! We enjoyed having Casey from Omaha Storm Chasers play cornhole and the wheelbarrow race. Thank you to Papillion Public Library for partnering with us, Bethel #1 Papillion – Mother Bethel of the World, and Papillion Mayor’s Youth Leadership Council for helping. There is a great article from Sarpy County Times, we are glad that you were able to make it out. We had some great suggestions for 2024 and look forward to adding those.
Our milk cow has an official name. It was a close race but Bessie was the most voted on!
