North Platte, Ne - The NEBRASKAland DAYS Board of Directors gave their highest honor to a long-time member of the community during Friday night's performance of the PRCA Hall of Fame Buffalo Bill Rodeo. Scott Orr received the award after dedicating extensive time and resources to not only NEBRASKAland DAYS but other community organizations as well. “Scott has been a valuable member of our organization since he joined the Board in 2007,” said Executive Director David Fudge. “We’re thrilled to be able to recognize him for his contributions.”
Orr is a North Platte High School graduate and retired member of our Armed Forces. He moved home from Kansas after his tour to take over the family business, Orr’s Dry Cleaning. He joined the NEBRASKAland DAYS Board and was instrumental in completing several projects that improved fan experience. “I remember Scott always being out here tinkering with something while he was a member of our Board,” said Fudge. “When Scott commits to something he never quits thinking about how he can be helpful.” Orr has continued to volunteer tirelessly since his Board term ended. Orr and his wife Cyndee will serve as Grand Marshall’s in Saturday’s NEBRASKAland DAYS Parade.
The Dale Studley Memorial Award is named after one of NEBRASKAland DAYS Founding Board Members, who worked tirelessly to help get the Celebration on firm ground in the late 1960’s. It is given annually to someone who has gone above and beyond in their commitment to the organization
