Cherry County, NE – The Sandhills Area Foundation is thrilled to announce the resounding success of this year’s annual fundraiser and auction, which raised a remarkable $40,000 thanks to the steadfast generosity and spirit of the community. On November 15th, residents, local businesses, and donors from across the region gathered for a memorable evening filled with fellowship, fun, and charitable giving.

The Heart City Theater Corporation would like to thank our community for all their generosity over the last year, from monetary donations to contributions made at IGA through the round-up program. Every little cent helps.

Look up at the night sky. What do you see? If you live in Valentine, Nebraska and surrounding areas, you can see hundreds of thousands of stars, the moon, and several planets, due to the minimal light pollution found here.

SLOW DOWN! The tempo of December is fast and furious. Holiday shopping, kid events, cow chores, and travel suck the ever-loving life out of us. It’s supposed to be the most joyful and festive time of the year. Yet many of us get bogged down with our honey-do and holiday- to-do lists and completely miss the joy this time of year can bring.
