Happy 4th of July!  Yes, I know that I am day early – for once. 🙂  But with so many celebrations across Nebraska, starting today, I thought I had better post all of the festivity opportunities today!  Obviously to catch all of the community gatherings, I would need to spend hours researching.  Because my time seems to be limited these days, instead I am focusing on the larger scale events.  If you know of an additional event in your area, please comment below or post your event on our Facebook page.
