It is National Administrative/Professional Day but did you know it is National Zucchini Bread Day? This day was established in the spring when people are not getting tired of all the zucchini in their garden! How do you cook zucchini, besides making bread with it?

OFFICIAL BALLOTS
BURT COUNTY PRIMARY ELECTION MAY 13, 2014
NOT ALL RACES APPEAR ON ALL BALLOTS
Nonpartisan races, where the names of candidates do not exceed two candidates for each vacancy, automatically advance to the General Election, to be held on November 4, 2014.
In addition, due to the passage of LB56 with the Emergency Clause, voters will also see the auto-advancement of partisan county official races in which a candidate is unopposed for their party’s nomination.
