🎶 LET'S TURN BACK THE CLOCK TO 1966!

The year Mead Lumber opened in Beatrice, the music was unforgettable!

We're bringing back the sounds of 1966 at our 60th Anniversary Community Celebration!

🎵 And here's a fun twist—our LIVE DJ is one of our own! The store manager of Mead Lumber in Nebraska City will be trading his lumberyard duties for DJ duties, spinning hits from 1966 throughout the event!

Come enjoy the music, reminisce about the good old days, and celebrate six decades of Mead Lumber in Beatrice.

Continuing our celebration of Employee Ownership Month, we’re highlighting what truly sets our culture apart. 🤝

Mead is a great place to work for a lot of reasons, and one of them is that it’s employee-owned — there’s a direct correlation between employees’ efforts and their financial rewards.
