When Shelton voters go to the polls on Tuesday, May 14, among the choices they will make is whether or not to allow the village to borrow money for the construction of a new community swimming pool. The current pool is over 65 years old and is showing its age. Planning and fundraising efforts have been on-going for some time by the village and others to construct a new pool for the community.
The Gibbon Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fire call at Gibbon Packing on the east edge of Gibbon around 8:38 p.m. on Sunday, April 21, battling the fire in the rendering area of the plant, according to Gibbon Fire Chief Rick Brown. He said that the department, aided by the Shelton Volunteer Fire Department and a ladder truck from the Kearney Fire Department, were on scene until around 2:00 a.m. Brown complimented the departments who helped with the fire by saying, “We have a really good mutual aid agreement. We all work together well and did a good job.”
