April 28 Designated as Community Cleanup Day
Grab your work gloves and roll up your sleeves; it’s time to “make Arnold shine!” Monday, April 28, 2025, has been designed Community Cleanup Day. Everyone who is willing and able is asked to pitch in and give our little piece of Nebraska some much-needed TLC.
If you need assistance cleaning up your property, call Patty Lamberty at (308) 848-2228 or cell (308) 520-4495 or Becky Dailey at (308) 848-2522 to get your name on the list and a group of volunteers will be lined up to assist you.
A roll-off container will be placed at the Village Street Shop from March 15-May 15 for your convenience when cleaning your property. There will be no charge for village residents to use it during this time. Residents are kindly asked to stack items inside.
Please do not leave tires, construction rubble, appliances, batteries, computers, or household hazardous waste in the roll-off container. Household hazardous waste may be placed on the pallet by the dumpster at the Village Street Shop (120 S Broadway St.).
Member of Arnold Rotary, Arnold Chamber, Arnold Public Schools, the American Legion, and Village personnel will be leading the charge. If you are not a member of one of these groups and would like to lend a hand, please contact Patty at the Village office at (308) 848-2228 or any member of these groups. All extra hands are welcome, needed, and very much appreciated!
Arnold Chamber will be providing a meal for all volunteers the day of the cleanup.
Rain date is Monday, May 5, 2025.

36th Annual Arnold Chili Cook-Off Is March 1
It’s cold outside…and you know what that means! It’s chili weather!
Dust off your favorite chili recipe, grab some friends, and get registered for Arnold’s annual chili cook-off! We’re celebrating 36 years of this “hot” event, and it’s going to be a toot…er…hoot!
Saturday, March 1, 2025, marks the day for the chili-cooking competition. Spectators will be able to treat themselves to the area’s best homemade chili while teams vie for the titles of Judge’s Choice, People’s Choice, Best Decorated Booth, and Mr. & Mrs. Congeniality.
Serving the public is from 5-7 p.m. at the Arnold Community Center. Free will donations will be taken at the door. In addition to chili, there will be potato soup and chicken noodle soup, and St. Agnes Catholic Church will be selling pies. The awards program starts at 7 p.m.
Pick up a signup form at First State Insurance. For more information, contact Taylour Snyder at 308.660.1074 or Debbie Connelly at 308.440.6862.
