Sesquicentennial
Events
Throughout the month
Statewide
To wrap up the year-long celebration
of Nebraska's sesquicentennial, attend
the play SNOWCATCHER Dec. 3-4 at
the Tassel Performing Arts Center in
Holdrege. Written and performed by
Becky Boesen, this live performance
was inspired by the Schoolchildren's
Blizzard of 1888, and gives a voice to
both the victims of the storm and to
the children of today who
are searching for a place
to truly call "home." Find
more information and
other sesquicentennial
events at ne150.org/
calendar.
