Gizmo Guys to Perform at the Lofte
What do you get when you cross world-class juggling talent with family-friendly comedy?
The answer is, the Gizmo Guys!
Allan Jacobs and Barrett Felker have amazed and amused audiences around the world. The Gizmo Guys have strutted their stuff in places as diverse as Saudi Arabia and Japan and have taught juggling at the renowned French and Canadian National Circus Schools. But, what makes their act so appealing is their combination of technique and infectious humor.
The Gizmo Guys' rapid-fire act inspires sidesplitting laughter in audience members of all ages.
The Gizmo Guys are based out of New York City, but have visited Nebraska several times in the past. Most recently they performed at Lincoln's Lied Center for the Performing Arts in 2007 and treated a sell-out crowd to their special brand of family entertainment.
The Gizmo Guys will be performing at the Lofte on Friday, May 8th at 7:00pm.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children ages 12 and under.
Their show generally runs about an hour.
Everyone from age 0-100 is encouraged to join us for this fun-filled evening. Bring the kids. Bring Grandma and Grandpa. The whole family will have fond memories of this one!

EASY, BREEZY AUTOPAY!
Imagine, one less check to write out, one less letter to mail or one less stop in your busy day to drop off the water payment...your schedule could actually become a little less hectic. Wouldn't that be nice?
Murray residents that already enjoy the stream-lined convenience of automatic bank withdrawals for monthly payments on their mortgages, utilities and cars, might want to consider having their water/sewer/trash bill paid in this same manner.
In order for a program of this type to be feasible, there would have to be a fairly high number of households using this option.
Drop a note in with your next water payment or leave a message at Town Hall, 235-2119, so the board can get a good idea of the number of residents interested to make this happen!
