“Nebraska Star Party”
“It’s a celestial celebration like no other in the country. The 25th year of the Nebraska Star Party welcomed people from all over the country to some of the darkest skies in the nation. At Merritt Reservoir in Valentine, young and old, novices and well-versed veteran stargazers gathered to witness the night sky as it was seen before the invention of the lightbulb. This multi-day event draws hobbyists who seek to escape light pollution in the sanctity of the Sandhills.”
“The Hat Maker”
There are around 60 custom hat makers in the United States and one lives in the heart of the Sandhills. Using antique tools and machinery, Kaycee Orr Hoffman is a master of her craft. She’ll build any hat you’d like, but her cowboy hats are among the finest made - bar none.
