I hope each and everyone one is having an enjoyable Independence Weekend celebration. I know many are hitting the State Parks or camping in recreation areas across Nebraska and with this weather….Let’s just say it could not get any better! I spent the 4th of July morning hosting my neighborhoods annual family fishing program and it was a blast. I always enjoy getting young families outdoors. Kids dig it! They love to fishy, play in the water, catch bugs, and just be a kid. What better way to celebrate our independence than with a hook, bobber and worms! I believe Mr. Jefferson would be proud of these kids! For these families, yesterday morning was about a lot more than just fishing!
