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.
