Brianna Navara of the Cambridge High School Art Club paints a stylized Cambridge Trojan on the check of Brenna Johansen of Bartley, during Cambridge's annual "Old-Fashioned Saturday Night." In the pig pen, two girls chased a greased pig, while on main street, Don Trosper of "Huskerfields" grilled hot dogs and -- oh, my! -- sausage!? The event recreates a typical mid-century Saturday evening in a rural American community when everyone went to town or went downtown, did their "tradin'" and caught up on the news and gossip with friends and family
