NORTH PLATTE, NE - 308 BMX came to be in 2016 and had some mementom in North Platte to build a BMX facility that would host local, state and national events, then came 2020 and those plans came to a hault.

Now jump to 2022. The City of North Platte approached 308 BMX with an alternative location that would better suit the needs of the organization as well as utilize some under used city property. The 5 acre plot that currently is home to the Happy Hound dog retreat will be the new home of 308 BMX and the community pump track. The City will work on relocating the dog park to a portion of Cody Park across the road.

Derek Beck with the POST sat down with 308 BMX organizer Brandon McCook and talked about the planned BMX track and community pump track that is planned in North Platte. North Platte Giving Day is May 3 and with community giving support McCook thinks the organization will be close to their financial goal and able to break ground on the pump track soon if funding comes through.

NORTH PLATTE - The North Platte Noon Rotary Club is hosing their annual Bloodhounds Blood Drive on Wednesday, April 19 from 11am-6pm at Venue 304 downtown North Platte. To date, 2,298 units of blood have been collected in 19 years of this blood drive according to Misty Robertson who is a noon rotarian, and spoke to the Post during a North Platte Kubota podcast last week.

Robertson says one of the cool parts about this particular blood drive is "the competition between organizations". Many have already created a team to collect blood on behalf of area non-profits, and Robertson said "you can start a team at the door if you'd like". The top 3 teams with the most donars on their behalf will get prize money to donate to a cause of that teams choosing. Patrick Jacobson who also joined Eagle's Derek Beck on FM 98.1 to talk about this event said another group he's a part of "North Platte Young Professionals" would donate their winnings to Debra's Legacy if they place in the top 3 in team donations.

BRULE — Keith County Area Development has announced a call to artists for the 2023 Mural Project to bring artists and
local communities together to create a more vibrant Keith County. 

Art in public
places plays an important role in preserving our culture, conveying the history
of our community, and beautifying the place we call home. 

The goal of the Mural
Project is to support the creation of murals throughout Keith County to promote
the creative expression of the artist and to provide an enriching visual
experience for residents and visitors as a quality of place enhancement.

<b>North Platte Kubota Podcast with KCAD's Molly Jeffres</b>

The 2023 mural site location is Brule, Nebraska’s beautiful
Barton Park. Many locals and travelers alike frequent Barton Park for picnics
and family events. The mural will be painted on an existing structure in the
park. . The key elements for the 2023 mural project will be ‘beauty, nature,
and creativity’ which are based on the First Impressions Mural Survey taken by
Brule residents. ‘Beauty, nature, and creativity’ were the top-rated values of
the survey respondents and will be used to guide the artist’s inspiration for
the project. This project stems from the “First Impressions” priorities
identified during the 2020 Keith County Community Vision Planning process. It
is being pursued thanks to generous funding raised during the 2022 Keith County
Big Give and a grant from the Keith County Foundation Fund.

This is Keith County Area Development’s second mural
project. Mural project information is available on Keith County Area
Development’s website at kcad.org/mural. Artist applications may be submitted
online or by mail and are due April 30, 2023. . Keith County Area Development
(KCAD) is an independent 501.c.3 non-profit organization based in Ogallala.
KCAD’s mission is to lead activities and partner with community members to
broaden and strengthen employment and commerce in Keith County. “We provide
forums for strategic planning, creative thinking, and collaboration. We recruit
community stakeholders that have a passion for Keith County and want to assist
in its progress. We strive to make our communities more attractive by promoting
our strengths and confronting areas of needed improvement.” KCAD is located at

Councilman Ty Lucas talked about keeping North Platte’s housing plan current.&nbsp;

“Our comprehensive plan is over 10 years old. And our last housing study was in 2018. And what's interesting is, if a developer comes to our community who's interested in working here who isn't local and doesn't have the&nbsp;familiarity that the local developers do, the first thing they ask you for is the housing study and the comprehensive plan," he said. "It's also important to have some common direction as a community locally. When it comes to any federal or state grant money, those plans are extremely important.” 

Lucas added that Judy Clark, director of the housing authority, had actually had trouble&nbsp;finding firms who would do the study.&nbsp;

“There's so much work going on in the state that the last time we did a housing plan, maybe we had 11 proposals, and I think this time we had maybe less than three so you can tell there's a lot going on in state.”&nbsp;

Kubota Podcast - North Platte City Council

The council also held a public hearing last night about awarding TIF money to Wilkinson Development to develop and build a new Fat Dogs Truck Stop and office buildings at the Interstate 80 179 exit adjacent to Newberry access on the north side of the interstate, according to North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher. 

“Well, I'm just excited that we have a local developer that's going to develop not only a Truck-Stop but also potentially another hotel and also continue to establish their regional operation," Kelliher said. "Their (Wilkinson Development) headquarters is right here in North Platte. They’re&nbsp;planning to build another building out there to run their headquarters out of and that's all jobs in our community. Those are local people who spend their money here — they buy houses, they buy their groceries, they spend all that money here, right here in North Platte. 

"It's not a truck stop that sends most of its money off to some other community. And don't get me wrong. We appreciate every truck stop we have. They&nbsp;provide jobs and provide services. But anytime you can promote your local companies growing and bettering themselves it makes your town a better place.”&nbsp;

Councilman Lucas said he didn’t think this area would ever be developed, if it wasn’t for a project like this. 

“I didn't know if I would ever see that quadrant developed in my lifetime. And I'm pretty excited about that," he said. "It took tremendous foresight by the chamber and development corporation because when they were working on a proposed site for what later became known as Sustainable Beef, they had the foresight to include this area in the blight substandard study to get it designated to be TIF-eligible. When that was accomplished and we talked about that a lot at the time at the council recognizing that this creates an opportunity for this quarter to be developed. I will never be convinced that that area would ever have been developed without tremendous assistance. I frankly can't be more excited that, first it's a local company headquartered here; and second, I think their ask was conservative and reasonable for the assistance they need to pull it off.”&nbsp;

The next step for the project will be a return to the Community Redevelopment Authority for finalization of the plan, and a contract that would need to be signed. Wilkinson Development would be free at that time to collect bonds and break ground which they hope to do by the end of the year.&nbsp;

Kicking the door open into 2023, BLACK STONE CHERRY have revealed a brandnew song, "Out of Pocket." The song isout now via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group and is available on all streaming platforms. The song drops in time for fans to get pumped up for their show in Imperial, NE. Black Stone Cherry have 2023 firmly in their sights and are taking it, lock, stock and barrel. Now it's time to rock the house at Chase County Fair and Expo!

READ SOUTHALL BAND captures vigorous, rock ‘n’ roll energy with elements of country and southern rock."There is a ton of excitement building around Read Southall Band at the moment." Riff Magazine notes, "Read Southall Band combines the heavy guitars of the late- and post-grunge era with southern rock vocals and a country music sensibility to create a sound outside the expectations of any of those genres by themselves." Southall is from Colby, Kansas.

Jacob Burke interview with North Platte Post's Derek Beck/<a href="https://www.npkubota.com/">Kubota Podcast</a>

IAN MUNSICK WITH SPECIAL GUEST MEGAN MORONEY SATURDAY AUGUST 19th, 2023

Breathing fresh Rocky Mountain air into the Nashville music scene, Ian Munsick is pioneering a new brand of country. The Wyoming-born singer / songwriter’s upbringing was a mix of working the ranch and working crowds. Under the tutelage of their fiddleplaying father, Munsick and his two older brothers grew up playing everything from bluegrass to The Beatles.&nbsp;

Captivated by traditional lyrical truth and the modern soundscape, Munsick followed his ear to Music City. Ian signed a major label record deal with Warner Music Nashville in 2020. Since then, he has accumulated more than 300 million global streams as well as accolades from Spotify (“Hot Country Artist to Watch”), MusicRow magazine (“Next Big Thing”) and more. “Long Haul” earned his second iHeartRadio Rocky Mountain Country Music Award for Song of the

Year. The recent releases of “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson), “More Than Me,” and “Horses &amp; Weed” are ushering in the next chapter of his musical saga... Fans are finding that, with Ian Munsick, western country is reborn.. 

Born and raised in Georgia, Megan Moroney was heavily influenced in classic country, southern rock, and americana. Megan is known for her distinctive voice and honest,conversational lyrics. 2022 brought the singer a breakout year with the release of her debut EP, Pistol Made of Roses,followed by her single “Tennessee Orange,” which put Megan on the map as Nashville’s most compelling new artist. The colossal buzz surrounding the track prompted her to perform it on ESPN’s College GameDay, while racking up an average of 5 million streams a week and over 70 million global streams to date. Currently, “Tennessee Orange” is the #1 weekly streamed song by a solo female country artist. 

Megan is set to kick off her sold out headlining PISTOL MADE OF ROSES tour this spring,then heading to Imperial, NE this summer. Pulling inspiration from artists such as Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves, the “musical risktaker with powerhouse pipes” (CMT) and “2023 Artist to Watch” (Spotify, Pandora, Holler, The Nash News) is slated to become a household name in the years to come. Megan’s new album “Lucky” is set to release May 5th!
