The monthly meeting of the Seward Fourth of July Celebration Committee is Thursday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. at the Seward Civic Center.

Names are also being collected to select the grand marshal/Nebraska’s Friend Award winner. Chairmen and committees will be appointed and committees organized for the 2027 celebration. Volunteers are welcome to attend the monthly meeting. For more information, contact Clark Kolterman at clark.kolterman@sewardschools.org or phone (402) 641-8522.
