Annual Neligh Shred Day Success

4/20/2022

Comments

 
It’s that time of the year for spring cleaning to start taking place. Just as some community members may be in the process of tidying up their homes, the City of Neligh and Chamber partner up to provide the service of safe document disposal through Security Shredding. Whether it be old bills, tax documents, or some other paper that was once a treasure, security shredding is prepared to help get rid of it! This year, there was a record amount brought in with a line up beginning well before the start time. Shred day takes place every year following Tax Day and is free to all community members and businesses no matter the amount that is brought in. We are very grateful for the possibly of this event to even take place. A big thank you to Security Shredding for making the trip to our community!

Teamwork Shines in Display Clean-Up

2/18/2022

Comments

 
Each year, the Neligh Chamber works to help spread a little holiday cheer by setting up the Christmas Light Display on the Courthouse lawn. This wouldn’t be possible without the help of the Neligh-Oakdale Public School’s FBLA Chapter and their parents who spend a Sunday afternoon helping the Chamber move the pieces around. They, then, partner yet again when the time comes to take the beautiful display down. However, this year there was a hiccup in that normal plan as the cold weather had frozen the decorations into the ground.

This is where the help of the Neligh-Oakdale Public School Students came into play. During a school day, a supporting teacher allowed the students to come and help the Chamber. They worked to get all the pieces out of the ground and setup against the courthouse. The next week, City of Neligh Public Works crew helped to load everything up as well as remove the decorations from the Chamber Office lawn. Rich Burgess and Steve Simonsen also graciously donated their time organizing and helping to guide where the pieces needed to be stored, everything was able to be cleaned up and packed away for the season. We are so grateful for all our volunteers and everyone who took the time to help us get everything put away to be stored for next year. Hopefully, next year the display will have a sparkling new look.

2nd Annual Career & Job Fair Hosted

1/28/2022

Comments

 
The Neligh Economic Development Office hosted a wonderful opportunity for students to come and learn about different local career options at the Antelope County Fair Grounds on January 27. The schools that attended were Elgin Public School, Summerland Public School, and Neligh- Oakdale Public School. Speakers came to present to the students on a wide array of topics as well as having them participate in activities. “We want them to come back to the area to live and work. Our greatest investment is in our young people,” said Economic Development Director Lauren Sheridan- Simonsen. The hope is that by presenting students with all these amazing opportunities, they will receive their education, but also know that it is okay to come back home. In fact, we want them too! Students then spent the afternoon touring a few local businesses. A Job Fair was hosted later that night for local businesses looking for more employment.

The Great Elf Hunt

Comments

 
The Chamber’s Shop Local campaign was a little different this year as they had little North Pole friends helping them with the task. The Great Elf Hunt kicked off on the first of December with eleven different businesses participating in allowing the elves to hide around their store! Community members were encouraged to keep their eyes out for them while they shopped. Participants could take a picture with the elf and send them in to the chamber for a chance to win one of the three grand prizes! We are so grateful for all who participated and choose to shop local this holiday season! We hope to see our elf friends next year and hopefully more of them will come and hide!

Hidden Gem Found

9/30/2021

Comments

 
While the Chamber Office prepared for the updates that are soon to come, a small gem was found in an unlikely place. Hiding in an old filing cabinet that appeared to be empty was discovered an old worn book that had a metal divider keeping it buried away. After close inspection, it was discovered to be the missing original link for the Chamber's history. In this book, we learned that the Chamber has not always been known at the Neligh Chamber of Commerce. It use to be a men only group called the Neligh Commercial Club and originated in 1913. Through years, it transitioned into the Chamber we know today. With this find, we were able to finally complete the missing part of our newest logo, the establish date. We are thrilled with this find and for being able to connect our chamber back to its origins.
