during Old Mill Days. A $5,000 purse, DDOT Officials,
open pits, mad dog awards, live band and beer garden.

the fun that is NYMC's Old Mill Days.

Easter Egg Hunt
- In 2011 the NYMC held its annual Easter Egg Hunt. The
weather was good for nearly two hundred
youngsters and their light-footed parents to hunt out the
surprise filled eggs donated by the NYMC and many local
businesses. Special thanks to all who attended and a
special thanks to Neligh's Chamber of Commerce for donating
the prizes this year. The Easter Bunny said he was "Hoppy"
with the event and "hops" to see everyone next year.

Pancake Breakfasts -
If you've attended any of
Neligh's events you probably know we (a) never go hungry and
(b) believe there is nothing like a good healthy meal before
the festivities. This year the Neligh Young Men's Club will
be hosting its annual pancake breakfast. Please come and eat
free pancakes on July 3rd in the Pavilion. This breakfast
will begin at 8:00 AM, is open to the public and will be the
starting location for the American Legions Riders Poker-run. Whatever your plans
this summer, it's worth rolling out of bed, getting a belly
full and watching "Mo" flip pancakes like a feen.
See you in the Park!

Haunted House/Trail
- This event has been one of the NYMC's longest and most
successful. Although a tremendous amount of work and usually
bone chilling temps, NYMC's Haunted House is always a huge
amount of fun for the members as well as those worthy of a
trip through the door. Unfortunately because of more
stringent fire safety issues the club did not have a house
in 2010. Be
ready to muster up some confidence for a scare in October,
we are planning a haunted trail at Penn Lake Park.

Pig Catching
Contest - On a hot summer this is your chance to
bring out the kid in you again. Participate or watch as
mudslingers battle the oinkers in front of Neligh's
grandstand for 2009's pig wrestling bragging rights. This
event is held in conjunction with Old Mill Days and the 4th
of July Celebration in Neligh. We want to thank Bruce Hild
for his four legged contribution to the fun. In order to
switch things up a bit we are going to try a Wild Chicken Chase
in 2011.
Hope to see you there!

4th of July Parade -
The Old Mill Days celebration
in Neligh is truly one of those diamond in the rough
mayberry small
town celebrations. Click below for a full list of the 4th of
July activities as well as more information on how you can
contribute to anything from fireworks to turtle races. Most
of all, help us carry on this wonderful event that helps
make Neligh such a wonderful place to live. When the
fireworks finish flashing and the fine foods finally settle

Neligh. See you this summer.

Airshow - In
2007 the Neligh Young Men's Club celebrated its 50th
anniversary. In honor of 35 years of service to the
community of Neligh, the club decided to go "all out" with
its first airshow at the Antelope County Airport. Coupled
with generous donations from Blackburn Manufacturing and
Schindler Flying nearly 2000 people ate pancakes, got their
first airplane ride and were treated to aerobatic routines
by Doug Roth and Rob Ator. The club has plans to do another
Neligh Airshow in 2012. Don't Miss It!

ATV Mud Drags & Enduro-cross
- 2009 marked the second year for this unique riding
venue. Once again the Neligh Young Men's Club teamed
up with Craig & Melissa Smith of Big Red Motorsports for an
wildly successful event. This is one of the most
enjoyable events for the spectators and we hope to see you
next year either in the stands or muddy like the rest of us.

Fireworks -
One of the biggest events of Old Mill
Days is continuing the 37 year tradition of the NYMC
fireworks show. Always on the 4th of July, you'll want
to stick around after the activities to witness this
brilliant aerial display. We would like to extend a
special thanks to all of those who made donations in 2010.
Hope to see you relaxing with a full belly and quenched
thirst at the Antelope County Airport in 2011.

Stop Light Drags - 2011
will be the third year in a row that the Neligh Young Men's Club partnered with the
Norfolk Car Club for stop light drags on the runway.
This event draws more than 1000 spectators and nearly 150
cars. Make plans to attend this year and don't miss the smoke,
noise and good "old fashioned" motor head fun. Thanks
to all who made it possible!
