No BULL...Love is in the air in Valentine, NE, February 13-14...make a weekend of it!!!

Seriously...love is in the air...Show your sweetheart by heading for the hills...the Sandhills that is!

 This February 13-14, 2015, we celebrate the cattleman and woman and their way of life here in the Sandhills.

Here's some scenes from last year....

Friday, February 13, is the second annual Red Dress Event where beef will be served  - no doubt. Did you know beef can keep you healthy? Find out the facts on this event at  bullbash.net. But there will also be live entertainment. Dueling pianos. They will be using 176 keys for their ammo - which sounds quite thrilling! While red attire is admired, it is not required.

Saturday, February 14, the bulls will be on display  - all hail to the BULL!!! These gentle giants are the driving force behind the livelihood here in the Sandhills!!! What would we do without them? Come and find out for yourself. There will be a pen of heifers as well. What will they think? "Hey boys...."  Perhaps?

Either way there is a full slate of events that will take place for boys, girls, men, women, families, and our youth! Quick Draw Competition, Luck of the Draw, coloring contests, food, wine tasting for the adults, gun show, quilt show, implements, anything that will help our ranchers will be on display on Valentine's Main Street. The fun begins at dawn when the panels and bedding are laid out for the bulls the bulls who will be on their way home before 5:00 p.m.

Looking forward to seeing you!
