The City of Lisbon will be holding a Clean-up project. This is an opportunity for the whole city to come together and help clean up our community. You can volunteer as a group or as an individual. We would like to encourage businesses to join in, so we created 2 shifts to make it easier for employees to participate. The event will take place on Wednesday, May 14th from 9:00-11:30 am and 12:30- 3:00pm.
We will meet at Sandager Park at the beginning of each shift where we will do a quick group photo that will be shared on Facebook and Instagram.
The City of Lisbon will provide trash bags. Volunteers need to provide their own protective items such as gloves and bright shirts/aprons.

On February 20th, 2025 the Ransom County Sheriff’s Office received two calls, one from the VFW and another call from the Friendly Tavern of a person passing possible counterfeit $100.00 bills in both establishments. The individual passing the bills was contacted and was unaware that the bills were counterfeit. The individual passing the bills is very cooperative with law enforcement and went back and withdrew money from the ATM and paid both businesses back.
This is currently under investigation and no names will be releases until the investigation is complete.
If a business and or person received money they feel is fake or counterfeit please contact the Ransom County Sheriffs Office or your local law enforcement agency.
