May 24 was a busy day in Haigler, NE. People from the tri-state area joined the
local community in celebrating the grand opening of the Cornerstone Center for
Community Service (former Haigler Elementary School).
Throughout the day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the Haigler
Community Foundation hosted an open house at the facility. Self-guided tour sheets provided guest the
opportunity to see changes in the repurposing of the buildings and to see what
is now available for rental possibilities.
The Sunshine Thrift and the Artists/Crafters Fair had many
happy shoppers and the library and conference room was the meeting place for
refreshments and great buys on many library books.
Hadley Barrett, PRCA Rodeo Hall of Fame announcer, Ron Scott
and the Roadmasters and Kelly Hayward all arrived late afternoon to begin
setting up the stage for music and dance that evening. By 8:30 p.m., people were coming in the doors
with their dancing shoes on and ready to dance.
Entertainers were terrific and everyone enjoyed the evening.
At intermission attendees tried to shoot a basket on the
court to win a T-shirt. Hot dogs, chips, water and coffee were served from the
kitchen until midnight. There was no
admission charge but attendees were most generous with their free will
donations to the Haigler Community Foundation.
The Cornerstone Center for Community Service is now open for
business. It is hoped that all of our
local surrounding communities here in southwest Nebraska will utilize the
rental facility opportunities.
