Several top young Nebraska golfers competed in the 19th annual Nebraska Lions High School Senior All-Star Golf Tournament; held at the Meadowlark Hills Golf Course in Kearney, June 28-29, 2021. The two-day, 36-hole tournament featured 14 girls and 15 boys invited from those all-class high school seniors who finished in the top 15 girls and top 12 boys in their respective classes at the State High School Golf Championships this past school year.

There are those who enjoy the excessive heat...the warmth of summer. And there are those who enjoy ways to cool down.

Every Friday morning, at 6:00 a.m., a non-denominational Men’s Bible Study is held at the Berean Bible Church; everyone is welcome regardless of whether you belong to a church or not. “We’ve grown from four guys to about 30 guys,” said Pastor Scott McClellen.

July 14, 2021 Frosty Drive In joined the Valentine Police Department for a Cone with a Cop event. This event is an offshoot of the Department’s Coffee with a Cop that focuses on offering no agendas or speeches, just a chance to ask questions, voice concerns, and get to know the officers in our community. Fifty-seven ice cream cones were handed out during this event. Officers from the Valentine Police Department, Cherry County Sheriff’s Office and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission enjoyed the opportunity to visit with adults and kids all while devouring a cool summer treat. Much appreciation Frosty Drive In for hosting the very first Cone with a Cop event!

Three local Valentine athletes competed Saturday, July 10, 2021, in the Missouri River Freedom Race, a 63-mile-long canoe and kayak race from Boonville to Jefferson City. Mike Huggins placed second in the men’s solo unlimited kayak division, making the 63-mile trek in just under seven hours (6:58:38).

The String Beans are coming back to Valentine! They are a Nebraskan favorite for entertaining preschool through elementary school-age kids. The String Beans sing songs about what kids love, and the show is sure to have your kids laughing, dancing, and singing along. They sold out the Lied Center in their hometown, Lincoln, and it’s going to be an amazing experience having them come to this area of the state!
