Learning about County Government

OSCEOLA — Monday was county government day in Polk County. About 50 students from three schools went to the Polk County Courthouse to tour offices and learn about how the county is run. The high school juniors and seniors were from Cross County, Osceola and High Plains.

A recently televised Lincoln, Nebraska newscast addressed “illegal trash burning in Osceola” surely heightening existing concerns amid serious and (recently reported) worsening area drought. Perhaps someone overwhelmed by life challenges was not thinking clearly.

OCAG Meeting

The Osceola Community Action Group will hold their November meeting on Thursday, December 1st at the Osceola Civic Center at 12:30 p.m. Due to Thanksgiving, the meeting has been delayed one week. Please join us for the last meeting of 2022 as we finalize plans for Christmas Downtown.
