Chamber of Commerce Chatter

Fall is right around the corner! School is back in session, the days are getting shorter and the fall sports are all going strong! Take the time to attend these activities and support our young community members. They are the future of O’Neill!

 

Looking for something fun to do? We have the answer! Saturday, September 13th, join us at the Knights of Columbus Hall for Bags, Brew and BBQ! Yes, the event is back at the KC Hall for 2025. The rib cookoff will be outside with the cornhole tournament inside. The Home brewers will be back with the best of their brews for everyone to sample too. The Husker football game will be on the big screen and Dave Merkel will be entertaining in the evening. The cost for the all you can eat ribs starting at 4pm, will be adults $20, kids 10 and under $10. NO TO GO ORDERS! Come join us for a day full of fun, food and friends! The number of rib cookoff teams is limited, so get your team entered now. You can get an entry form on www.oneillchamber.com, the O’Neill, Nebraska Chamber of Commerce Facebook page or by contacting the chamber office at 402-336-2355 or email lauri@oneillchamber.com. Better yet, just stop by 125 S. 4th Street and fill it out and turn it in. If you have questions about the rib cookoff, contact Dan Krugman at 402-340-0793. Entries for the cornhole tournament will be from 10am to 11am the day of the tournament. Play will begin at 11am. Show up, sign up and play! Krotters will be donating a grill that will be raffled off again this year. Tickets for the grill will be available soon. If you haven’t already sent in your sponsorship, be sure to do so before September 5th so we have plenty of time to get the t-shirts ordered and printed. We want to thank Christensen Farms and Wm. Krotter Company for your large donations to our event. We appreciate your support!

 

The Cowboy Ultra 200 race from Norfolk to Valentine on the Cowboy Trail, will again be coming through O’Neill. This year the race will start in Norfolk on Friday, September 26th.

Here is the link you can use to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080E48A4AB2FA4F85-58018160-cowboy#/. This is an interesting way to meet people from all over the nation as they stop in to the Manned Aid Station at the Old Depot Building in O’Neill, sponsored by the Holt County Visitors Committee, but we need your help!! We hope you will give us one shift!
