Read about Sen. Brandt’s LR168 honoring Friend’s Ray Page for its 150th anniversary in the Lincoln Journal Star’s 6/6/21 story.
From their coverage:
Losh drafted a resolution based on her research, and Hromadka-Ernst submitted it to their state senator. Earlier this month — the day before the Legislature adjourned — senators passed a resolution recognizing Friend as the home of Ray Page and celebrating his contributions to aviation.
On July 4, Friend will celebrate its 150th anniversary.
There will be fireworks and music, a parade and food and a tractor pull that will draw many of the town’s 1,000 or so residents.
Sen. Tom Brandt of Plymouth will present the resolution to the town, a recognition the two women who’ve come to love the dusty Opera House on the second floor of the Warren Building hope will help preserve it.
