(North Platte, Nebraska, October 27, 2023) – Local event organizers continue to work hard to create fun&nbsp; and exciting events in North Platte that bring in visitors and contribute to the economic vitality of our&nbsp; community in addition to giving locals and visitors options for unique activities.&nbsp;

Visit North Platte operates under an agreement with the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners to&nbsp; facilitate the Nebraska Visitors Development Act. Grant funds, marketing, and operating expenses for&nbsp; Visit North Platte are funded by lodging taxes collected and remitted by lodging properties from&nbsp; overnight stays in Lincoln County.&nbsp;

The Visit North Platte Board of Directors approved grant funding at the monthly meeting held on&nbsp; October 25, 2023. The applications totaled $3,105 in requests and a total of $3,105 was awarded.&nbsp;

• Approved $1,855 in promotional and incentive funding to North Platte Pickleball for their&nbsp; Platte Valley Paddle Battle Tournament. The North Platte Pickleball Club is hosting a&nbsp; tournament on March 23-24, 2024, at the North Platte Recreation Center. As the sport of&nbsp; pickleball continues to grow in popularity, hosting tournaments like the Platte Valley Paddle&nbsp; Battle give our community the opportunity to draw in competitors from surrounding&nbsp; communities while also offering recreational opportunities for our local residents.&nbsp;

• Approved $1,250 in promotional and incentive funding to Dusty Trails for their guided Sandhill&nbsp; Crane and Prairie Chicken Tours. These funds will be used to promote the Sandhill Crane and&nbsp; Prairie Chicken tours through online advertising and to purchase new signage for the tours. The&nbsp; largest saturation of the Sandhill Crane migration is something that can only be experienced in&nbsp; central Nebraska. According to a study conducted in 2017, the overall economic impact of the&nbsp; annual migration on central Nebraska was $14.3 million, and it supported 182 year-round&nbsp; equivalent jobs. Local tourism related to birding has been on the rise in Lincoln County and has a&nbsp; growing economic impact on our area.&nbsp;

The next round of funding is now open, with a January 1 deadline for events or projects occurring in&nbsp; April, May, and June of 2024. These applications will be considered at the regular monthly Board of&nbsp; Directors meeting scheduled for January 24, 2024. Anyone interested in submitting a grant application is&nbsp;

encouraged to contact the Visitors Bureau at 308-532-4729 and discuss their project with a staff&nbsp; member.&nbsp;

Grant funds, marketing, and operating expenses for Visit North Platte are funded solely through the&nbsp; lodging taxes that are collected and remitted for overnight stays by lodging properties in Lincoln County.&nbsp; It is thanks to the efforts of the lodging property partners located within the county that funds are&nbsp; available to attract more visitors, which have a significant impact on the economic well-being of our&nbsp; Lincoln County communities.&nbsp;

NORTH PLATTE, Neb - Michael Ray will headline the concert at the Lincoln County Fair in North Platte on July 26, 2024. The announcement came Thursday morning. Drew Phillips Band will open for Ray. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 27 at www.lincofair.com for only $30/ticket.

Michael Ray was born in Eustis, Florida. He was inspired by his grandfather Amos "Wilson" Roach, who played music for him and taught him how to play guitar, in addition to having him perform at assisted living centers. Ray chose to form a band in southern Florida after graduating high school, and a disc jockey at WPCV began playing his music. He independently released an album in 2010, which was discovered by manager Tony Conway.

Ray was mentored by John Rich of Big &amp; Rich on the singing competition The Next: Fame Is at Your Doorstep, which he won. He and Rich co-wrote Big &amp; Rich's 2015 single, "Run Away with You".[2] After winning the competition, Ray was signed to Warner Bros. Records Nashville. His first EP, Tour Bootleg, was released in 2014. Two of the EP's tracks, "Kiss You in the Morning" (which went to number one on the Country Airplay charts in 2015) and "Think a Little Less," would later appear on his self-titled second album, released in 2015, becoming Ray's first and third singles, respectively. The track "Real Men Love Jesus" was named as Ray's second single. Ray supported the album with a tour.

On June 16, 2017, Ray released the single "Get to You" ahead of his third studio album, Amos.[3] Upon the album's release in 2018, it would produce two more singles: "One That Got Away" and "Her World or Mine." Both of his albums were produced by Scott Hendricks.

In September 2020, Ray released the single "Whiskey and Rain" ahead of his fourth studio album, originally set to be released in 2021.

Young people working in teams. Solving STEM challenges. Running and playing outside, exploring nature. Making art. Having new experiences with new friends. Growing and preparing food. Discovering passions, dreaming about their future.

All are key aspects of childhood all Nebraska youth deserve.

And every day, in both urban and rural communities across our state, after-school programs provide thousands of Nebraska youths just such opportunities for learning and growth.&nbsp; School-based and community-powered, after-school (and summer) programs provide hands-on learning opportunities complementing school day instruction in ways that excite, engage and inspire the next generation.

These experiences provide critical support to working parents, who need to know that their children are safe and engaged as they close out their workdays.&nbsp; After-school programs also create the nurturing places all Nebraska communities require to remain welcoming places for the families and businesses we need to attract and retain so we can continue to grow our economy and quality of life for all Nebraskans.

&nbsp; Thursday Oct. 26 is Lights on Afterschool Day, a national celebration of the important role after-school programs play in communities across our nation.&nbsp; On Oct. 6 Gov. Jim Pillen recognized Lights On Afterschool with a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://beyondschoolbells.org/resources/loa.html">proclamation</a>&nbsp;highlighting the benefits Nebraska receives via these programs.&nbsp;&nbsp;

True to form, Nebraskans didn’t wait for the national start to kick off our Lights on Afterschool events.&nbsp; Celebrations started last week with a combination early Lights On/Halloween celebration at Jefferson Elementary in North Platte on Oct. 13 before moving east to Omaha on Oct. 14 with a citywide celebration at the brand-new Luminarium in RiverFront Park.&nbsp; Many more celebrations are planned statewide over the next two weeks.

Importantly, this year’s celebration marks the 20th&nbsp;anniversary of the Nebraska Department of Education’s administration of the 21st&nbsp;Century Community Learning Centers, a federal grant program supporting high quality after-school (and summer) programs that has grown to serve 143 Nebraska sites.&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.education.ne.gov/21stcclc/">NDE 21st CCLC</a>&nbsp;programs have provided tens of thousands of hours of engaging, enriching programming to tens of thousands of youths in underserved communities across our state, through safe, structured opportunities for hands-on STEM learning, field trips, cooking classes and many, many more activities, facilitated by professional staff and community volunteers.

We know through our professional work that high-quality after-school and summer programs play a crucial role in helping provide youths with additional opportunities for learning and the healthy growth and development all Nebraska students need. These programs complement but don’t duplicate the school day learning and provide youth with hands-on, small group, experiential-rich learning opportunities that are too often not available during the school day. To see what these programs look like in one community, Grand Island, we encourage you to watch the following video,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://iloveps.org/films/mobile-makerspace-learning">STEM Learning on Wheels</a>, capturing an example of youth imagination and creativity unleashed by a dynamic after-school program.

Dr. Brain Maher, Nebraska’s current commissioner of education, noted the value of after-school programs when welcoming attendees to September’s GetConnected 2023, stating that the learning taking place in after-school and summer programs is just as important as the learning that takes place during the school day. For children’s growing brains and bodies, where and when learning takes place is irrelevant. What’s important is that youths are supported by caring adults and provided with experiences that support their healthy growth.&nbsp;After-school and summer programs can be the hands-on, experiential learning that excites, engages and inspires Nebraska youths to try new things, make friends and engage in new activities that may help chart a life course.

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.beyondschoolbells.org/">Beyond School Bells</a>, a program of the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation, works to build public-private partnerships to support the development of high quality, cost-effective and locally sustainable after-school and summer programs in communities across our state. While informal education programs have long been a crucial part of every community’s youth development system, we believe that the disrupted learning of the COVID pandemic will make the role of after-school and summer programs even more important both now and in the future.

Looking into the future, we see these programs expanding to every Nebraska community, providing all our youth with vital opportunities for additional learning and growth.&nbsp; For Nebraska the benefits are multifaceted and substantial – high quality after-school and summer programs help students reach their full potential, support working parents and ultimately help communities grow and prosper. We invite you to join with us in celebrating Lights on Afterschool in your community.

Snyder is the subject of the Netflix movie, “Walk. Ride. Rodeo,” released in 2019. The biopic focuses on her journey leading up to and following a vehicle accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Since then, Snyder has become one of the most sought-after social influencers and motivational speakers in western sports.

Approximately 275 attended her presentation at NPCC where she shared her story of triumph over tragedy.

“Don’t ever compare your challenge to somebody else,” Snyder told the audience. “Each one of us is going to have our own challenges and our own way of handling them. There is always someone praying for what you have.”
