If you love ice cream, then you will enjoy the homemade ice cream from The Platte Valley Creamery in Scottsbluff. The staff make sure that your ice cream is fresh and delicious. I had a peanut butter and chocolate malt, but if you would rather have a cone or a sundae then you can as well. Ice cream is good anytime if the year, so be sure to stop in and get your fixing!
Treasured Grounds is a coffee shop in Hemingford, Nebraska. Not only do they serve coffee, but they have breakfast and lunch as well. I enjoy the Caramel Marshmallow Latte and a breakfast burrito. They have daily specials and can make a variety of latte flavors. However, if you just prefer plain black coffee then Treasured Grounds is where you want to stop before you go to work. Stay awhile and enjoy your breakfast or you can get it to go if you are in a hurry.
Treasured Grounds is open Monday through Friday 6:30am-3:00pm.
The Potter Sundry in Potter, Nebraska is a small town cafe with an old fashioned soda fountain. It’s a cozy atmosphere to enjoy a good morning breakfast. The Sundry also serves lunch and if you save your appetite be sure to try a Tin Roof Sundae. The Tin Roof Sundae is a layer of vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate sauce, then a layer of chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and topped off with peanuts. Open Mondays-Saturdays 7am-5pm, this is a great place to enjoy some good food. I hope everyone will take some time to visit The Potter Sundry and see that it’s a unique place.
Dobby’s Frontier Town in Alliance, Nebraska has their annual fall festival September 21st-22nd. There will be a cow chip throwing contest, buggy rides, dutch oven cooking, cold sasparilla and much more. Come live a day in the ole west at Dobby’s and experience the history. Check out more information on their website: http://dobbysfrontiertown.blogspot.com/.
The Dawes County Museum is hosting their History in Action Day on Sunday September 22nd, 1-5pm. Make apple cider, churn butter, discover antique toys, quilting, farm animals, grind wheat and much more to see and do. I hope to see you all there!
The Dalton Fall Festival is right around the corner; mark your calendars for September 20th-22nd. Come check out the craft fair, Saturday morning parade, watch the mud volleyball tournament and enjoy some pancakes on Sunday morning. This is a great family event for parents and children of all ages. I encourage everyone to come out and support the village of Dalton and meet some of the locals. To plan a trip, check out Dalton’s website for more information: http://daltonnebraska.com/index.html.
