After nearly 9 months of construction, NEBRASKAland DAYS has moved into their new permanent office on the grounds of the Wild West Arena, and today celebrated that move with a Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening.

The project was the result of a joint effort between NLD at the North Platte Community College Building Division.

The 3000 square foot facility features enough office space for permanent and seasonal staff as well as meeting facilities for its Board of Directors. It also contains a good amount of storage for the Celebration’s mass archive.

“This project has been a dream of our organization for decades,” said Executive Director David Fudge. “It’s fulfilling to see it happen.”
The College’s second year Building Program students were responsible for much of the work. The students framed the structure, placed walls and insulation up, installed windows, and sided the outside.

Ryan Purdy, Mid-Plains Community College President said, “NEBRASKAland DAYS has been a great partner with Mid-Plains Community College for many years with the College’s Rodeo team and also the Annual Celebration. We were happy to provide assistance on this project and showcase our student’s talent on this facility.”

With most of the building now completed, the staff can turn their full attention to NEBRASKAland DAYS 2015. “We’re 41 days out from today,” said Fudge. “It’ll be here before we know it!”
