One of the greatest migratory spectacles in the world, millions of Sandhill cranes converge on the river bottoms and corn fields between Hershey and North Platte from mid-March through about April first.

Held annually in August, usually around the third weekend. The celebration features a parade, community picnic, and a dance "under the stars and between the bars".
One of Lincoln County's favorite restaurants. Featuring great home cooking.
