News Release Nebraskaland Days
NORTH PLATTE-A long-standing staple of the NEBRASKAland DAYS Celebration is being moved to a new home. The Pork Breakfast, one of the most popular of the food events during the festival is being moved to the First United Methodist Church with the Church’s membership at the helm. It will be held on June 19th at 7 am as previously scheduled.
“There were a couple of factors at play in this decision, but the most important was the progress being made at the Mall,” said Executive Director David Fudge. “When the City Council passed the mall plan on final reading this past Tuesday, the work started. We’re as excited for this redevelopment as the rest of the community. But it necessitated a change to our plans.”
The First United Methodist Church is no stranger to hosting large community events, as they annually host a Trunk or Treat event around halloween and a Holiday Craft Fair in early December. They feed large crowds for both events.
"We are excited to support the Nebraskaland Days festival in such a practical way,” said Pastor Douglas Delp of First United Methodist Church. “We love serving people who are hungry as an expression of our mission in the community. It's time for some great food with family and friends at the Pork Breakfast."
As in the past, there will be both sit-down and drive-through options available for people who attend the event. Tickets already purchased for the event are valid for the new location. Advance tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased at the NEBRASKAland DAYS Office. Tickets will also be available at the Church on the day of the event.
