Duncan, Nebraska- Duncan Ribfest runs Saturday-Sunday. Go out, try some delicious ribs, have a cold brew and support the Duncan Wrestling Club.
North Platte- NebraskaLand Days is still going on and it’s concert weekend. Kid Rock and Lee Brice perform tonight and Halestorm and SickPuppies take the stage Saturday night.
Please be on the lookout for some severe storms that may pop up throughout the weekend. Have a plan of action, but have an enjoyable weekend!
I got to see Buffalo Bill in North Platte.
NebraskaLand Days is going on in North Platte. You can wrangle with some cowboys and check out the Buffalo Bill Rodeo on Saturday.
Sage Hill Vineyards and Winery is hosting a kayak race to raise funds for the Parks Community Center. $25 gets you into the race and some food. The event starts at 2pm on Saturday and I plan to attend.
North of Kimball just off Highway 71 is Beehaven Farms. It is worth a stop to pick up some organic foods such as eggs, cheese and some granola. Beehaven Farms raises chickens, goats, lambs and bees. Yes, you read it right, bees. The owners make their own honey from the bees they raise and you can get a bottle in the store located at the center of their farm.
Beehaven Farms also carries other items in their store from local and state wide makers. You can pick up soy candles from Heritage Candles and some soap made from goat milk.
Not only did I pick myself up some granola and honey, but I got to meet and pet some of the animals. You can also check out Beehaven Farms at the Scottsbluff farmers market every Saturday in the summer. However, if you want the real experience of the farm you will need to make a trip to the roadside market and visit Miss. Beehaven.

Hello fans- I am in search of some individuals would be willing to sponsor me in a few 5K’s this summer. Along with sponsoring I would be willing to work with you on some marketing and promotions if you own a business. Please see my contact page if you are interested.
Bike Ride Across Nebraska began yesterday in Kimball. Follow the hundreds of bicycle riders as they make the trek across the state of Nebraska all week. See if they stop in your town this week and if they do, I recommend to cheer on these ambitious bikers.

I can feel the heat of summertime already and I am really excited. There are so many events going on this summer it is hard to keep track of them all. This weekend Celebrate Lincoln begins today and goes on tomorrow (Saturday June 1st). Montgomery Gentry will be performing downtown Lincoln Saturday as part of the event.
Taste of Omaha begins today and runs through Sunday. This has always been one of my favorite events, it sits right along the riverfront and the downtown park in Omaha. This is a great family event; plenty of food, vendors and entertainment.
If you know of any events that are happening this summer, please email me with the details and I will be willing to share the information. Enjoy the summer, but remember to be safe. If you drink, please remember to designate a driver.
