This weekend in Fremont, NE

Explore the Saturday Fremont Farmers Market for produce, baked treats, and handmade goods, with plenty more to browse throughout the market.

Breakfast starts the day, followed by a safety briefing and team assignments to lend a hand to neighbors. Participants will tackle projects such as pulling weeds, spreading mulch, trimming trees, painting, minor repairs, light building work, power washing, autumn cleanups, and loading construction dumpsters. Working together keeps the pace steady, and the effort concludes with lunch.

This returning tournament features a shotgun-start round of golf followed by a team cornhole competition. Pre-registration is open and capped at the first 18 teams, and spots are secured only with pre-payment. To register a team, contact Shane. Outside food and drink are not permitted. Burgers and brats will be available throughout the day, and the golf course restaurant will offer a limited menu at first with a full menu later. The golf portion is a 4-person, 9-hole scramble where everyone tees off, the best shot is selected, and play continues from that spot until the hole is finished for one team score. Watch for playful shenanigans on the course. The 4-person team cornhole uses a 7-game progressive round robin, with winners decided by overall record and point differential as a tiebreaker. Two teammates play from each board and remain there for the game, each player throws two bags per round, partners alternate throws until all four team bags are thrown, and scoring is a race to 21. Payouts go to top teams in each event along with an overall champion, and prizes will be presented after the cornhole tournament.
