LISTEN TO INTERVIEW WITH CHARLOTTE WAGNER WITH MISS RODEO NEBRASKA ORGAINZATION

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 10, 2025)&nbsp;— The Miss Rodeo Nebraska Organization is preparing to launch its 70th anniversary celebration this Sunday, June 15, with a full week of events in North Platte, coinciding with the start of NebraskaLand Days.

The festivities begin at 10 a.m. Sunday at the Wild West Arena with the horsemanship competition, a public event showcasing contestants’ riding skills. Miss contestants will ride horses not their own, while teen contestants will compete on their personal mounts. A community barbecue and raffle will follow at the pavilion, and the speech competition will take place at 5 p.m. at North Platte Community College.

“This is such a great opportunity for the public to come out and see what these young women are capable of,” said Charlotte Wagner, a board member with the Miss Rodeo Nebraska Organization. “Horsemanship is a huge part of what we do, and it’s really exciting to watch.”

This year’s competition features three Miss contestants and two Teen contestants. The organization is also welcoming back former titleholders as part of its 70th anniversary celebration.

On Monday, June 16, the annual Miss Rodeo Nebraska Style Show will be held at Venue 304, beginning with a social hour at 6 p.m. The event will include a fashion show and vendor booths, offering a more intimate and formal setting than in previous years.

The Miss Teen Rodeo Nebraska Coronation is scheduled for Tuesday evening at the college, moved from its traditional midday slot to allow more community members to attend after work.

The new Miss Rodeo Nebraska will be crowned Wednesday night during the rodeo at 7:30 p.m. at the Wild West Arena. Visiting royalty, including Miss Rodeo America and five state queens, will be in attendance throughout the week.

“Even after the coronation, the work isn’t done,” Wagner said. “There’s still paperwork, appearances, and a lot of behind-the-scenes effort that continues through Thursday.”

Lemoyne Senior Center to Host Flea Market Fundraiser June 21

OGALLALA, Neb. (June 10, 2025)&nbsp;— The Ogallala City Council will convene Tuesday evening to consider a range of issues, including a potential ban on fireworks due to dry conditions, infrastructure improvements, and updates to public transit software.

The meeting, scheduled at City Hall, will begin with a roll call and verification of notice, followed by a consent agenda and public forum.

One of the key items on the agenda is a recommendation from city administration to prohibit the discharge and sale of fireworks within city limits. Officials cite higher-than-average winds and lower-than-normal rainfall as reasons for the proposed ban, which they say is in the best interest of public safety.

The council will also review a license application from Austin Wheeler, who has passed his exam to become a journeyman plumbing contractor, and consider a software and license agreement with CTS Software for federally mandated public transit scheduling.

Street improvements are also on the docket. The council will discuss specifications and a bid opening date for Project 2025-2, which includes curb, gutter, driveway, sidewalk, and cross pan replacements on sections of West and East 2nd Street. The project is part of the city’s 2024-25 Capital Improvement Plan.

In other business, the council will address a proposed rebate policy for property owners who repair inoperable curb stops within 60 days of notification. City staff estimate more than 30 such curb stops have gone unrepaired since 2019, potentially impacting future water rates.

The police department is seeking approval to amend its special fee schedule, allowing the city manager and police chief to negotiate impound fees in certain cases. Officials say the change would reduce liability and streamline vehicle clearance.

Additionally, the council will vote on a resolution to enter into a 5311 Program Agreement with the Nebraska Department of Transportation, securing federal and state funding for public transit through fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

City staff will also seek guidance on budgeting for a potential 2026 fireworks show, noting that fundraising efforts in 2024 fell short of expectations.

The meeting is open to the public. Listen to the POST's Z 93.5 Country Wednesday morning at 9am MT for a recap of the meeting.

The Hot Sheets: June 10, 2025

NORTH PLATTE, Neb - Three distinct voices in stand-up comedy will bring laughs and rural flair to North Platte this week, as Iowa-based comedian Tyler Walsh headlines a special comedy night featuring Jill Carlson and the Sandhills' Billie J on Wednesday night at Axes N Aces at Lake Maloney and a show Thursday night at Another Round, both in North Platte.

Walsh, a rising star known for blending his rural Midwestern roots with universal punchlines, has performed alongside national acts like Noel Miller and built a strong following across platforms like TikTok and the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire. His style—equal parts small-town charm and sharp observational humor—resonated with the Nebraska crowd.

Opening the show is Jill Carlson, a seasoned comedy producer and performer with two decades of industry experience and credits across cities like Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Denver. She recently recorded her own special, Jill Carlson: UNHINGED, in front of a sold-out audience.

Also performing is Billie J, known for her “Ranch Lady Comedy” style—what she calls “ranchy, not raunchy.” Billie’s storytelling and off-the-cuff delivery kept the crowd on edge, wondering what outrageous tale would come next.

The night offers a blend of high-energy entertainment and relatable humor, showcasing the growing appetite for stand-up comedy in rural Nebraska communities. Organizers say they hope to bring similar talent to the area in the future. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/16fCXn52Kc/">GET MORE INFO HERE</a>

Comedian Tyler Walsh Will Headline Comedy Night in North Platte with Jill Carlson and Billie J

NORTH PLATTE, Neb - A powerful moment of remembrance will take place Monday afternoon at Cody Park in North Platte at 3:30pm as the National EMS Memorial Service’s "Moving Honors" procession makes a solemn stop to pay tribute to emergency medical personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty.

The 6,500-mile cross-country journey began in California and will end at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C., where the names of fallen EMS professionals will be honored in a national ceremony. At the center of the procession is a specially wrapped ambulance carrying this year’s “Tree of Life,” a symbolic memorial sealed during the journey and unveiled only at the final service.

Hosted by AmeriPro Health, a local EMS and healthcare provider, the North Platte event at 3:30pm today (Monday, June 9) will have members of the public, first responders, and local officials—including Mayor Brandon Kelliher—under Cody Park’s picnic shelter. Multiple volunteer EMS and fire departments from across the region will be escorting the memorial vehicle through Nebraska.

The event offers residents a rare and moving opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices of emergency workers and show support for the families they leave behind.

The Tree of Life includes the names of EMS professionals who made the ultimate sacrifice in 2024.

Fallen EMS Heroes To Be Honored in National Memorial Stop at Cody Park Monday Afternoon

The North Platte Public Library will welcome Nebraska author Colby Coash this Saturday, June 14 at 1 p.m. for its next "Author Talk," hosted by the library’s One Book 4 North Platte: Lincoln County Reads committee.

Coash, who grew up near the Niobrara River in Bassett, Nebraska, will discuss his book Running Naked, a memoir that reflects on personal challenges, healing, and renewal. This marks the first time since 2019 that a featured author has visited the group in person.

LISTEN TO CONVERSATION WITH SHERRY POLK

“This is our seventh book, and only the second time we've featured a Nebraska author,” said committee member Sherry Polk. “It’s really exciting to have someone local whose story can resonate with our community.”

The event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase for $19.99, with additional copies stocked at A to Z Books in North Platte. Refreshments will be served, and attendees will have the chance to participate in a Q&amp;A session with the author.

The Community Reads program has been active since 2018 and is modeled after similar successful initiatives like One Book One Lincoln.

The Hot Sheets: June 8, 2025

NORTH PLATTE, Neb - When Jim Gragg takes vacation, he goes to work, and loves every minute of it.

For the past fifty years, the Tryon, Neb. man has spent four days every June in North Platte, volunteering at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo. And even though it’s work, he loves it.

Since 1974, Gragg has untied calves after every tie-down roping run at the rodeo.

He was a high school sophomore when he began helping, and he’s never missed a performance or Wednesday morning slack.

He drives from his ranch south of Tryon every day, instead of staying in North Platte. It’s easier that way, because he can take care of ranch chores on the place he and wife Judy own. He puts on about 600 miles in the four-day period.

After each tie-down roping run, he and another man run to the calf and take the rope off, handing it back to the roper. It’s not a hard job, but with about 140-150 ropers throughout the four days of rodeo, it requires the ability to make the repeated trip from the side of the arena, to the horse, roper and calf, and back again.

Last year, Gragg was given the Trail Boss Award, an annual award given to volunteers who exemplify dedication and going above and beyond the call of duty to support the rodeo or its auxiliary events.

Gragg didn’t know he was receiving the award last year till he heard his name called. It was a big surprise, he said. “I was headed to the catch pen, and I saw all these people I know,” he said. He was escorted to the middle of the arena, where he was presented with the award.

“I was shocked, I was just so shocked,” he said. “Coming home that night, we generally have the radio on, but I was so wound, I rattled all the way home.”

As soon as he got home, he hung the plaque. “I found a spot and hung it on the wall.”

Gragg, along with other volunteers, helps with the calves and steers, making sure they’re sorted in the correct pens. When Hadley Barrett was announcing the rodeo, he always opened a gate to the catch pen, so Hadley could ride his horse into it during the bull riding.

Gragg loves every part of the rodeo, “everything,” he said. One of the highlights is for him to meet the rodeo stars who compete in North Platte. “I’ve met so many neat people,” he said, like (world champion tie-down roper) Tuf Cooper. One morning at slack, he was roping, and I thought, I’d just as well shake his hand. I’ll never get another chance. It’s neat to see all these people and be a part of their life, at least for a few seconds.”

Gragg and his wife Judy raise cattle and quarter horses. She usually doesn’t accompany him to the rodeo, but she was there when he received the Trail Boss Award.

A humble man, he was grateful to receive the award. “It meant the world to me. I never dreamed in a million, in a million-plus years, they’d even consider me for this award. It means the world to me.”

The time he spends at the rodeo is special to him.

“I just consider those four days my vacation. I just love it.”

This year’s rodeo is June 18-21 with nightly shows at 7:30 pm. The rodeo is held at the Wild West Arena in North Platte.

Tickets range in price from $11-$24 and can be purchased online at NebraskalandDays.com, at the NebraskalandDays office, and at the gate.

Talent and Elegance Shine in Night One of Miss Nebraska Pageant in North Platte (Results)

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — David P. Huebner, a North Platte native, former Border Patrol agent, and agricultural producer, has officially announced his candidacy for Nebraska’s 3rd Congressional District. He will run as a conservative Republican, challenging longtime incumbent Rep. Adrian Smith of Gering, who has held the seat since 2007.

In an interview on Sandhills Spotlight On Eagle Media's <a href="http://www.z935country.com">Z 93.5 Country</a> with Derek Beck this week, Huebner emphasized his deep local roots and hands-on experience in farming, law enforcement, and small business ownership as key qualifications for the role.

“I want someone in Congress who has skin in the game,” Huebner said. “Someone who knows what it’s like to get up in a snowstorm to check on calves or to put on a badge and a gun and serve on the southern border.”

Huebner, 38, returned to western Nebraska five years ago to raise his family and operate a small ag business. He believes his background gives him a direct connection to issues central to the district, including agriculture and border security.

“Border security is national security,” he said, recounting his years of service under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. “We need to codify policies that protect our borders and our citizens. That’s not partisan—it’s common sense.”

The 3rd Congressional District covers most of western and central Nebraska and is among the largest districts geographically in the country, with 80 counties. Huebner said he’s already begun a grassroots campaign, attending events in York and Buffalo counties in the days following his May 30 announcement.

“I’ve got 46 weeks to cover 80 counties before the primary. We’re hitting the road hard. Voters deserve to meet the person asking for their support,” he said.

In addition to agricultural and security issues, Huebner voiced concern about how undocumented immigration may impact future U.S. Census counts and congressional representation for Nebraska.

“If we don’t fix how illegal aliens are counted, we risk losing a House seat. That could mean losing the 3rd District entirely. We have to get ahead of that now,” he said.

Huebner said his campaign will be grounded in bold conservative values, including support for law enforcement, border security, Christian principles, and rural America.

The Republican primary for Nebraska’s 3rd District will take place in May 2026.

The Hot Sheets: June 6, 2025

WEST POINT, Neb. (June 5, 2025) – A new alliance of 19 critical-access hospitals across Nebraska has officially launched the Nebraska High Value Network (NHVN), aiming to improve rural healthcare through shared resources, collaboration, and value-based care.

The network is designed to give small, independent hospitals the power of scale—sharing costs, data, and best practices—while allowing them to remain autonomous and responsive to local needs. Through a coordinated effort, NHVN hospitals will work together on clinical and business strategies to enhance patient care, control costs, and partner more effectively with insurers.

“Working together enables our member hospitals to make impactful investments—like in population health management—that wouldn't be possible alone,” said Tyler Toline, NHVN Board Chair and CEO of Franciscan Healthcare in West Point. “We can stay independent and still reap the benefits of a larger system.”

The network’s foundation is a clinically integrated network (CIN) that currently serves nearly 300,000 patients. A physician-led Clinical Integration Committee will oversee quality standards, data-sharing, and care coordination across member hospitals. The goal: reduce administrative burden while improving patient outcomes.

“Through the CIN, we’re showing insurers the high-quality care we already deliver—and building stronger, value-based partnerships as a result,” said Dr. Jared Kramer of Howard County Medical Center in St. Paul.

In addition to clinical collaboration, NHVN will help members cut costs by coordinating purchases and sharing operational expertise. An operations committee made up of hospital leaders will facilitate this work.

NHVN becomes the fifth rural hospital network launched by Cibolo Health, a company that supports independent hospitals through clinically integrated networks. Cibolo Health will provide active daily management of NHVN through its leadership team, including Nathan H. White, President, and Dr. A. Clinton MacKinney, Chief Medical Officer.

The NHVN is already in talks with other rural Nebraska hospitals about joining and anticipates continued growth.

Local Hospitals Join Nebraska High Value Network to Strengthen Rural Healthcare

LISTEN: EAGLE's Derek Beck spoke this week with Wild West Soap Box Derby local director Dave Barrett about this Saturday's (June 7) big races in Ogallala.

OGALLALA, Neb. — The Wild West Soap Box Derby is back in high gear this Saturday, June 7, as racers from across the region compete in the prestigious FirstEnergy All-American Championship Race and the Super Kids Classic at the derby track in Ogallala.

Local Director Dave Barrett joined Sandhills Post this week to preview the big event, which will determine which young drivers advance to the world championships in Akron, Ohio, July 13–19. Ogallala’s race is one of about 100 nationwide where champions automatically qualify for the global showdown.

“This is the one race each year that earns automatic bids to Akron,” said Barrett. “It’s really special — it’s free to attend, family-friendly, and the racing is incredibly competitive.”

The Super Kids Classic kicks off at 1 p.m., followed by stock, super stock, and masters division races starting around 1:45 p.m. Spectators can expect three to four hours of action, including the drivers’ parade and opening ceremonies. The race follows a double-elimination format.

Unique to soap box derby racing, competitors draw from a “wheel bank” to ensure fairness, swapping wheels and lanes with each opponent. “It’s about as even as it gets,” Barrett said. “You can’t win with tricked-out wheels — the racing is decided by skill.”

Last year, Ogallala celebrated a world champion when local racer Ethan Auwerda won the Super Kids title in Akron. Another local, Diego Juarez, finished as runner-up in the Super Stock Rally division. Region 4, which includes Nebraska and surrounding states, remains one of the most competitive in the nation.

Barrett credited the Ogallala Optimist Club and Pinnacle Bank — sponsors since the track opened 19 years ago — as key partners in making the event possible. Eichner’s Sales and Service also donated a $2,000 grill to support the derby’s fundraising efforts.

“Without sponsors and volunteers, we couldn’t put on an event like this,” said Barrett, noting the loss of fireworks sales this year left a funding gap.

Spectators are encouraged to bring the whole family to enjoy racing, food from the Derby Diner, and community fun. The event is free to attend, and raffle tickets are available to support the program.

For more information, visit <a href="http://wildwestsoapboxderby.org">wildwestsoapboxderby.org</a> or attend the races Saturday at the derby track north of Ogallala.

OGALLALA, Neb. — The Keith County Big Give is off to a fast start, raising more than $160,000 in its first week as it aims for a $325,000 goal by June 15.

Presented by the Keith County Foundation Fund (KCFF), the Big Give is a countywide fundraising campaign supporting 50 local nonprofit organizations—up from 37 last year. Caitlin Fuller, event organizer, said the campaign not only highlights groups doing vital behind-the-scenes work but also encourages donors to discover and support new causes.

“When I first moved here, I didn’t know many of these organizations existed,” Fuller said in an interview with Sandhills Post. “Now, more people are learning about their impact and donating to causes they hadn’t considered before.”

Donors can give online at <a href="http://keithcountybiggive.org">keithcountybiggive.org</a>, by mailing checks to P.O. Box 104 in Ogallala, or by dropping off contributions at local banks, senior centers, and the Ogallala Chamber of Commerce. A matching fund of $75,000 provided by KCFF will help boost donations, and a “Love Them All” option splits gifts evenly across all nonprofits.

Many groups outline specific fundraising goals on the campaign site, from domestic violence support services to community volleyball courts. Fuller says both visible and behind-the-scenes projects benefit from the effort.

The Big Give will culminate with a check presentation event in July, where awards are also handed out to participating organizations.

🎥​Keith County Big Give Launches with Strong Start Toward $325,000 Goal

June 3, 2025 (McCook, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— The Nebraska State Patrol is raising awareness about multiple overdose cases in southwest Nebraska.

In the last three days, there have been two overdose cases in the area. NSP has been in contact with several local agencies regarding the potential of a connection between these cases. Both cases are believed to involve similar counterfeit pills, made to look like legitimate prescription pills. Investigators believe the pills contain synthetic opioids which can be lethal with a very small dose.

The overdose cases have occurred in McCook and Culbertson. The case in McCook resulted in the death of a 22-year-old female. The McCook Police Department is the investigating agency in that case. The overdose case in Culbertson did not result in a death and is being investigating by the Nebraska State Patrol, with assistance from the Hitchcock County Sheriff’s Office.

“These cases are tragic and it’s imperative that people understand the dangers associated with counterfeit pills,” said Captain Jason Scott, Commander of NSP Investigative Services. “Never take prescription pills unless they are prescribed by a physician and come directly from a pharmacy.”&nbsp;

The Hot Sheets: June 5, 2025

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — The Hall of Fame Buffalo Bill Rodeo is set to kick off its four-night run on Wednesday, June 18, as part of NebraskaLand Days in North Platte. Rodeo board members Justin Thompson and Levi Fisher joined the North Platte Post to preview what fans can expect from one of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s top-tier events.

Now just two weeks away, final preparations are underway for the nationally recognized rodeo, which runs Wednesday, June 18 through Friday, June 21. Fisher said planning is complete and the focus is now on last-minute details at the arena.

“We’ve got contestant lists in, all the pieces are in place — now it’s just about finishing strong,” Fisher said.

A highlight of this year’s rodeo is the return of&nbsp; rodeo clown John Harrison.&nbsp;Harrison just won the "Triple Crown of Rodeo Clowns" at the PRCA Awards Banquet in December for the third year in a row. He won Comedy Act of the Year for the 9th time, Coors Man in the Can for the 8th time and for the third time in his career...Clown of the Year!  Known for his high-energy comedy acts and crowd interaction, Harrison will provide specialty entertainment each night.

“He’s one of the best in the business, and fans are going to see something new every night,” said Thompson. “You can come to all four nights and get a completely different show.”

Organizers also emphasized the rodeo’s top-tier production quality, comparable to what fans see at the National Finals Rodeo. With nightly production meetings, high-end video and audio equipment, and a live broadcast on The Cowboy Channel, the experience is designed to be fast-paced and professional from start to finish.

Veteran Hall of Fame PRCA announcer Randy Corley will return to the crow’s nest this year, joined by Garrison Allen. Corley, the son-in-law of the late Hall of Fame announcer Hadley Barrett, continues a tradition of elite rodeo commentary in North Platte.

Tickets for the Buffalo Bill Rodeo are available in advance at <a href="http://www.nebraskalanddays.com">www.nebraskalanddays.com</a> or by calling 888-313-5606.

“It’s an exciting time,” Thompson added. “We’re ready to welcome fans to another great year in North Platte.”
