​​*  It’s here! At long last the Nebraska Czech Heritage License Plate Legislative Bill 140 was signed 
    into law by Governor Jim Pillen at the Wilber-Clatonia High School on Sunday, August 4 during the Annual
    Czech Festival in Wilber. Among those participating in the signing ceremony from the left are Ondrej Pometlo,
    Deputy Consul General of the Czech Republic in Chicago; Dr. Mila Saskova-Pierce, Honorary Consul of the 
    Czech Republic in Lincoln; Governor Jim Pillen; Debbie Spanyers, Saline County Treasurer; District 32 Senator
    Tom Brandt; and Wilber Mayor Roger Chrans. The nationally renowned artist, Jim Cantrell, who grew up in
    Wilber, designed the License Plate featuring homesteaders with the Czech flag and words at the bottom 
    saying, My Czech Home-Domov Muj demonstrating people leaving their homeland but not abandoning their 
    culture to create new lives in Nebraska.​​​​​​
