Town Profile Submit your town Farwell, NebraskaSubmitted by randy lukasiewicz Farwell is my hometown. I prsently live in Omaha but have enjoyed recently displaying my photos and sponsoring the Annual Farwell Athletic Club Reunion celebrating this small Polish village's contribution to society via baseball. Around the turn of the century and for years, local town team baseball was a real live community building activity. Just ask any of the older folks. The story is always the same. The Sherman-Howard League had it's beginning in Howard county and is one of central Nebrasks'a oldest leagues and one that continued into the 1960's. By way of www.farwellathleticclub.com and an annual exhibit (2nd weekend of June) , I hope to preserve the stories and memories of small town Americana and the Farwell Athletic Club, or FAC or what they stood for...Faith, Attitude and Community!
