Adventure for DAD!!!

Summer has come upon us FAST! So fast in fact, that Father's Day is literally around the corner. Hopefully you've planned an adventure fit for the king of the house!

Several of our sponsors have just the right gift for your dad...Henderson's IGA has Traeger grills, spices, grilling tools, and most important...mouth watering steaks to sizzle on his new grill for the entire family and friends!

What about Berry Creek? Absolutely stop there because they have ammo, guns, targets, and reloading for dads who would rather walk on the wild side and grill their own catch!

Outback Screenprinting and Embroidery has caps, T-shirts, jackets, shorts, and shoes for your special dad, and they can personalize his gift making it a one of a kind! Badgers? Cowboys? Huskers? They have it all!

Maybe dad's not so great at the grill and Mac n' Cheese is his speciality? Fear not....gift certificates from Coachlight Cafe are great any time! They make the best homemade food and will deliver locally! Hungry? Go for the Badger Burger!

What about a trip down the river??? Brewer's Canoers and Tubers can get you all fixed up...tube, canoe, or kayak! The river level is fabulous...scenery is GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, and abundant with wildlife. Not to mention p-e-a-c-e-f-u-l!

Some dad's are sentimental...how about a project for him with fabrics, woolens, and buttons from The Quilting Cupboard. There's cowboy prints for neckerchiefs, patterns  by Fear Not Pattern Co. just because and whatever your hands create will become a beautiful memory!

Water sports, fishing, skiing, can be great fun at Merritt, so can camping. Even a walk, hike, or looking for fossils can be a wonderful way to spend Father's Day together!

Happy Father's Day from the sponsors at SandhillsWesternVacations.com We invite you to come and enjoy what the Sandhills have to offer - It's your four season family fun, ticket 4 adventure! Check out the Schedule of events for June and July 2016 Schedule of Events...there's a lot coming up for you to enjoy!

Sing the summer song...

This summer has been nothing short of perfection! Sunny days, green hills, a beautifully flowing Niobrara River, and abundant fish in the lakes.

Saturday at 6:00 p.m. the Valentine Chamber of Commerce hosts their Watermelon Feed in front of the 4-H Building. Summer just isn't summer without watermelon! Last year it was sweet and juicy! Stop out!

These are just the highlights of what the rest of the week will showcase. When you're not at the Cherry County Fair, head downtown for end of summer clearance items as well as BACK TO SCHOOL savings!
