The 1935 Flood Remembered

Rainbow Fountain Park
Benkelman, NE

The 1935 Flood Remembered
 May 27, 2010, 7:30 pm

7:30 pm Welcome and Introductions

7:40 pm “The Great Flood on the Republican River in 1935"
     Presentation by Joy Hayden, National Weather Service, Administrative Assistant

    Accompanied by Scott Mentzer, Meteorologist in Charge

    Visit with survivors and others with stories to tell





The presentation by the National Weather Service, Goodland, Kansas, is the result of a study that their office has been doing on the Republican River Flood in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska.  They are continuing to collect information about the flood, and the program they will give in Benkelman is a report/study of what they have learned so far.  They hope that people will come and share their stories about the flood at each presentation.  Many have already contributed stories and photos, and they are sharing these through their website and the presentations they are doing throughout the area.
