Art, unity promoted in cultural exchange

The first-ever Neligh Catrina-Fest was held on Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Neligh American Legion.

The event was organized to celebrate Día de los Muertos - Day of the Dead - while raising funds for the New Moon Theatre and the Neligh Public Library Foundation.

Guests enjoyed a vibrant celebration of culture and tradition, featuring folklore dancers along with skilled charros performing intricate rope tricks.

The festivities also included a Catrina and Catrin costume contest for both adults and children, traditional food vendors, face painting, games, and more.

Organizers extend heartfelt thanks...
