The North Platte Community College Theater Department will present “The Haunting of Hill House” Oct. 29–31 in the McDonald-Belton Theater on the NPCC South Campus, 601 W. State Farm Rd., North Platte. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 29 and 30, and 5 p.m. Oct. 31.

Based on Shirley Jackson’s classic novel and adapted by F. Andrew Leslie, this chilling play brings Hill House to life. When Dr. Montague invites a group of strangers to explore the mansion’s haunted halls, curiosity quickly turns to dread as the house begins to awaken.

As unexpected guests arrive and the house’s dark energy grows, Hill House draws its visitors into a night of fear, madness and deadly consequence.

The cast includes Gianna Tejral as Eleanor Vance, Ady Hastings as Theodora, Tyler Stewart as Luke Sanderson, Dustin Cartmill as Dr. Montague, Lexi Walker as Mrs. Dudley, Angel Chua as Mrs. Montague and Daniel Manning as Arthur Parker.

Admission is $5 per person. NPCC students, faculty, and staff are admitted free with ID.

The Hot Sheets: October 14, 2025

The North Platte Public Schools Foundation and KIDS Klub are inviting the community to enjoy a night under the stars at this year’s Movie on the Field event. Sponsored by NebraskaLand Bank, the annual fall tradition allows families to watch a family-friendly movie while supporting local afterschool programs.

This year’s featured film, Moana 2, was chosen by the community through a social media vote. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with the movie starting at 6 p.m. 

Families are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and snacks, and enjoy tailgate-style concessions including hamburgers and hot dogs. Admission is free, with a suggested donation supporting KIDS Klub.

The event also coincides with National Lights On Afterschool, a nationwide celebration of afterschool programs keeping their “lights on” for students.

 Carrie Lineman of KIDS Klub said, “We want everyone in our community to know that they're invited...just a great way for us to give back to the community that supports us.”

Attendees can also receive stadium blankets featuring the KIDS Klub logo, available to the first 100 families. Organizers ask that guests respect the field, avoiding sunflower seeds or gum, as the event takes place on the school’s athletic field.

Now in its third year, Movie on the Field offers families a fun, free, and safe evening while supporting afterschool programs in North Platte.

The North Platte Catholic School System is off to an exciting start this fall, with enrollment on the rise and a full schedule of student activities. Wendy Dodson and Gwen Covey discussed the happenings at NPCS.

“Fall is always a very busy time at our school system with lots of events and activities. And we're especially looking forward to our biggest fundraiser of the year, Green, which is coming up in just a couple of weeks,” said Dodson.

Enrollment at North Platte Catholic Schools is up this year. Covey shared, “As you know, we just started school in August, and it's exciting to share that enrollment is up again this year. Every year, there's always some tendency to have some transfers, but we're excited to share that our numbers are back up. And what I do is I tour families, and if there's an interest for students to come our way, then I get to show them our school and what our school has to offer. And that's probably my favorite part of the job.”

G.R.E.E.N., taking place on October 25, plays a vital role in supporting the school’s operations and endowment. “This is our annual dinner fundraising gala, and it began in 2003. And really what it does is helps the endowment reach an annual goal for funding the school budget. So it's a really fun event. It's the biggest party of the year, I think, a great, fun event to plan. But it really is very important for the general operations of our school,” said Covey.

Even if attendees can’t make it in person, they can still participate. “The silent auction is completely online. So that's a great way to participate even if you can't attend. So just North Platte Catholic Schools on Facebook. The link is there. You just have to click the link and sign yourself up,” Covey explained.

With a focus on community, education, and fun, this fall promises to be an exciting season at North Platte Catholic Schools.

Community Ties Giving Program invests in safety, community vitality, and local impact

Union Pacific Railroad is continuing its long-standing support of Nebraska communities, awarding more than $300,000 in grants across the state through its Community Ties Giving Program — including several organizations in North Platte and Ogallala.

In North Platte, four nonprofits received funding for projects that strengthen community engagement and growth. The recipients include the Golden Spike Tower &amp; Visitor Center, Habitat for Humanity International, the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation, and the North Platte Community College Foundation.

Each organization plays a unique role in supporting local quality of life — from preserving North Platte’s rail heritage to expanding affordable housing, education, and community development initiatives.

Meanwhile, in Ogallala, the Front Street Cowboy Museum was among this year’s Nebraska grantees, recognized for its work preserving local history and enriching the region’s tourism and cultural identity.

Union Pacific distributed more than $4 million nationwide to 430 nonprofit organizations this year, focusing on projects that align with the company’s four core giving priorities: safety, workforce development, community vitality, and environmental sustainability. Grant amounts ranged from $5,000 to $30,000, helping drive measurable impact in towns and cities across 23 states.

“Union Pacific is committed to empowering local organizations that are driving meaningful change,” said Liisa Lawson Stark, vice president of Public Affairs for Union Pacific Railroad. “These nonprofits are the heartbeat of their communities, and we’re honored to support their efforts to create safer, more vibrant places.”

The Community Ties Giving Program operates through an annual competitive grant process that opens each April. Eligible nonprofit organizations can learn more or apply online at <a href="https://www.up.com/CommunityTies">up.com/CommunityTies</a>.

Union Pacific — headquartered in Omaha — operates one of the largest freight networks in the United States, connecting communities across 23 western states and helping move goods that power the economy.

Each year there is a need for numerous volunteers to help make the event run smoothly alongside the NSAA officials, Visit North Platte, and Lake Maloney Golf Course. Volunteer recruitment has a significant impact on the day-to-day operations of the tournament.

The Hot Sheets: October 10, 2025

North Platte, NE -&nbsp; The Nebraska State Rehabilitation Council has recognized North Platte’s Pizza Ranch as the recipient of the 2025 Disability Employment and Inclusion Small Business Recognition Award for its ongoing commitment to hiring and supporting employees with disabilities through Nebraska Vocational Rehabilitation (Nebraska VR).

Owner Shay Caldwell says the restaurant’s partnership with Nebraska VR has been a meaningful success story from the very beginning. Job coaches initially helped new employees with applications and interview preparation — support that quickly became unnecessary as workers gained confidence and independence on the job.

“Our employees who came to us from Nebraska VR are some of our most valuable employees that we have,” Caldwell said.

Caldwell, who also owns a local bicycle shop, said the collaboration with Nebraska VR began there — providing bikes as transportation for VR clients — and expanded naturally when Pizza Ranch opened in North Platte.

“It has been the best thing we have ever done,” she said. “These employees have become family. One of them calls me ‘Mama Shay,’ refers to my daughter as his sister, and he’s just the bright light in this place.”

The Nebraska VR program, part of the Nebraska Department of Education, helps individuals with disabilities prepare for, find, and maintain employment while supporting businesses through inclusive hiring partnerships. The State Rehabilitation Council reviews and advises on VR programs, recognizing businesses that demonstrate leadership in disability inclusion.

Caldwell says the award reinforces her team’s focus on community and compassion — values that have guided the restaurant since opening just over a year ago.

“We love them as family,” she said. “Nebraska VR — if you haven’t yet jumped in, jump in with both feet. You won’t regret it.”

Caldwell also shared how the support from her team has lifted her personally as she begins a cancer journey, saying one employee writes her weekly notes of encouragement and prayers.

“It means more to me than anyone will ever know,” she said.

The Nebraska State Rehabilitation Council’s Small Business Recognition Award highlights employers across the state who promote inclusive workplaces and provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to thrive.

🎥Pizza Ranch Honored for Inclusive Hiring Partnership with Nebraska VR

Listen to the full interview with Devon Shrum on our Kubota Podcast!

North Platte is about to get a new reason to lace up skates and roll into fun. Devon Shrum, the organizer behind Spin City, joined us in the studio this week to share highlights from last weekend’s community fundraiser and give a glimpse of what’s coming with the city’s newest roller rink.

The fundraiser, held last weekend, was an all-day event packed with activities for the whole family. “There was a great community turnout, lots of people interested, fun activities to do,” Shrum said. Attendees enjoyed a bake sale, chili cook-off, silent auction, and kid-friendly activities, all accompanied by live music. The event raised $2,500, an encouraging start toward funding Spin City’s opening.

So where did the idea for Spin City come from? “It all started because we don’t have anything like this around here,” Shrum explained. “It’ll be nice to have an environment where people can go and skate safely, learn how to skate, and have fun with friends and family.”

Shrum, a longtime roller derby participant, shared how personal her connection to skating is. “I never really had a place to learn how to skate. Having my own space where other people can learn, whether they’re interested in roller derby or just skating for fun, will be really helpful for the community.”

Spin City will feature a retro 80s neon theme, complete with a smooth skating floor designed for safety and enjoyment. Shrum plans to eventually add concessions, an arcade/game room, and tools to help new skaters stay upright while learning, like balance walkers. Skates will be available for rent up to size 14, and those who bring their own skates will receive a discount on entry fees.

The fundraiser was only the beginning. Another community event is coming up at The Pop Corner on the 15th from 4 to 8 p.m., with a portion of sales donated to Spin City. Fans can also expect t-shirts and more fun activities during the event.

For Shrum, the project is about more than just a rink. “The overwhelming community support so far has been amazing. It’s something we need—a place to get together and hang out,” she said. Shrum’s personal memories of learning to skate on uneven sidewalks and old rinks in her hometown inspired her mission to create a safe, fun, and smooth skating environment for kids and adults alike.

Looking ahead, Shrum hopes Spin City will be a lasting hub for recreation in North Platte. “I know we’ve had a couple of skate rinks in the past that have closed. Bringing this back is a really good idea, and I hope the community is supportive,” she said.

Spin City promises to be more than a place to skate—it’s set to be a space for memories, community, and fun for all ages. Keep an eye on Spin City’s Facebook page for updates and details about upcoming events.
