Your reply to..."What are we going to do for the 4th of July???"

What a question...."What are you doing for July 4th?" Like it's your place to make the plans for a big celebration...one person...how are you going to do it????


It can be a tough one to answer...clearly you'd like lake activities, grilling, fireworks, but....where?

Right here in Valentine, Nebraska! There's everything you'd need right here to celebrate your July 4th holiday right. Not too far away either.

We have many amenities....

We have Merritt Reservoir...


We have the Niobrara River....


We have golf at Frederick Peak...


And of course several waterfalls!!!


As for the rest! We have that covered as well!

We have the parade at 11:00 a.m.


Because no July 4th is ever July 4th without a parade.

Immediately afterwards, head over to the Valentine High School where you can listen to the recitation of the Declaration of Independence that our forefathers wrote and signed. Because of their audacity - their bravery to fight a crown across the ocean - we have many freedoms to enjoy daily! George and Martha Washington are always there and do appreciate a helping hand.


You have opportunities now to head back to the water, get in that round of golf on the Tom Lehman and Chris Brands designed course...take a nap, or enjoy some terrific BBQ!

In the distance you may hear the roar of the engines who are competing in a smash 'em up,  bonafide, good old fashioned demolition derby!!! You can win prize money if you get there early enough and bid on the right car.


 Finally as the sky turns velvet...it's time for the Lions Club sponsored Rockets Red Glare!


There are lots of ways to celebrate July 4th and now when someone asks, "Hey, what should we do for July 4th?" You have an awesome answer...and it's not too far down the road... "We're going to go to Valentine, Nebraska!!! With people who will make us feel right at home!!!"

Thank you in advance for coming to our celebration of America's 241st Birthday!

God Bless America!!!

God Bless America and we're happy to be celebrating her birthday this July 4th! Fireworks continue to reverberate throughout the night and light up the skies( it's 2:30 a.m.!!!). 
We've had blessed rain that has kept the rivers flowing, the fields green, and temperatures cool enough to enjoy it all!
Here then, from SandhillsWesternVacations.com and her sponsors, a birthday celebrating America's freedom all the way from the Sandhills of Valentine, Nebraska!




Great message Berry Creek Gun and Pawn! We do love our freedom...Veterans, thank you! And God bless our troops - keep them from harms way! Amen!


George and Martha make an appearance!

The Lions Club did a fabulous job, as always, with the fireworks display after the demolition derby!

Just a little cooperation! This parade entry had a little trouble, but Support our Troops was its message! Troops, we're red, white, and blue, behind you!



There were several Rat Rods wearing patriotic colors in this years parade!



Fire Chief Terry Engles is thankful for the moisture this year! Celebrate July 4th!!!!

Happy Birthday America!!!!

She's celebrating 235 years today! And boy does she look great. There are few things that require attention, but for the most part, there's no better place on the planet than the good 'ol U.S. of A!!! Enjoy our freedoms. Every last one of them.
A special thank you to our Forefathers who had the foresight to institute the changes to allow our generation and future generations unprecedented freedoms that other countries can't even begin to fathom. We're not perfect by a long shot...but we are indeed FREE!




She watches over us in all kinds of weather...stormy...

 Windy...


Snowy...


Even if we can't see all of her, she's watching over us...



When the sun begins her descent...


Still....


We're free.


And we can be free to do as we choose at home...


At someone else's home...


In public...


Because of Lady Liberty....
We're free...


We're Free..


We're FREE...


WE ARE FREE!!!!


Remember those who fought and are still fighting the good fight...


MAY WE BE FOREVER AND ALWAYS FREE!


And long may she wave!
Happy Birthday America!
May GOD bless you forever!
