Concrete Industries Nebraska City – Tecumseh plant has donated, delivered and set concrete pads for the Nemaha County community public art project – Honeybees in the Heartland. The project is the most widespread public art in the area and focuses on sculptures that bring beauty, originality, and character to the county. The sculptures are inspired by the honeybee, the official state insect. There are 26 sculptures throughout the community.

The Palmyra community recently unveiled their new athletic stadium as part of a larger $5.4 million athletic facilities project. The project includes ballfields, competition track, artificial turf playing field, a playground, and a walking path. The project is shared by the village and the school. Beatrice Ready Mixed has supplied 1,500 yards of concrete for building pads, parking lots, driveways, curbs, track runways and sidewalks. The complex is still under construction and will require another 1,500 yards of concrete before completion.

The project has drawn extra attention as the district was set to ask voters to approve a bond issue for funding but found out the Olson Foundation had gifted $5.4 million to cover the cost. The gift happened because Leland Olson, and his family, never forgot how the people of Palmyra and the school helped him while attending the high school. After his father passed, Olson was set to quit school to help run the family business. The community worked with him to help him graduate. He later went on to graduate from college and received a degree from the Nebraska Medical Center.

Olson died in 2013 but his family kept tabs on the community and school and surprised everyone with the gift.

A strong turnout made for a lot of happy kids, and a successful day for the Kearney Area Children’s Museum as it hosted its annual ‘Roadway Heroes’ event at the Buffalo County Fair Grounds in Kearney.

Kearney Ready Mixed displayed a concrete truck at the event, which was designed to give children the opportunity to touch and explore the trucks, as well as provide a platform to raise awareness of safety habits around large vehicles and roadway safety.

In total there were 37 vehicles for children to explore, including a fire truck, military Hummer, ambulance, semi truck, snow plow, dump truck, tow truck, and many more. Proceeds raised at the event will fund future events at the Kearney Area Children’s Museum.

The Nebraska Concrete and Aggregates Association held an ACI Certification Class at Husker Concrete. There were 50+ people in the class. Husker Concrete supplied the room for the written exam and also supplied the concrete for the hands on testing. The certification was for Field Testing Technician Grade 1. Students were taught how to correctly test concrete for slump, air content, field test specimens and temperature of fresh concrete.

The certification lasts for five years and the class was attended by concrete quality control technicians, including NEBCO Ready Mixed plants, Nebraska Department of Road Inspectors, and concrete testing companies.
