Pepsi #Halftime America with Lee Brice in Milligan, NE

While it's not happening here in Cherry County, we're happy for Milligan, NE, who was chosen as the kickoff for the BIG GAME! They're outside of Lincoln and a small little town of about 300....watch the video on how they're getting hyped for some football...







Milligan, NE is quite a ways from Cherry County and Valentine, NE, but we're celebrating with them just the same!

Rock on Milligan!

Meanwhile...who will you be rootin' for during the big game? Seattle Seahawks? or Denver Broncos?

What a special event for Milligan and we're glad to share it with everyone!
