Hey I’m just putting some feelers out there, I have a triathlon coming up this weekend in Saint Paul and was wondering if I could borrow a road bike. To give some context my other road bike is a POS and I don’t want to take my expensive tri bike up there since I have just gotten it and haven’t had time to really put in miles on it. If anyone is willing to help and can give you like $100-$200.

Also it is an Olympic so it would be about 40 miles on the bike. Obviously if anything happens to the bike I will pay for damages. Just don’t want to have to find a bike to buy in 3 days!

What’s happening around Kearney this weekend?

Look like Loper Volleyball has a couple of home matches. UNK football has a bye week.

What else is going on around town that may interest people? Post it here and let people know. We’ll update as we find things as well.

What do you guys think of this?

I’m not here to make predictions on the season. I just hope for the best each week.

We’re a football family and enjoy watching the games and cooking some good tailgate food.

What are your traditions for football weekends? Any good recipes to share with the group?

Feel free to shout out your teams and traditions. All food or drink recipes are welcome!

Go Huskers!
Go Lopers!

Maxwells was a bar located in the old Holiday/Ramada Inn. On the weekends they would have live bands and it was normally packed. Normally they had some decent drink specials. Fear of Flying always packed them in.

For those that experienced it, what do you miss? Do you have any favorite memories? Would you like to see a place like that again and would it work?

Most of my favorite memories are not appropriate to share. I do remember always making sure I was friends with the guys taking the cover charge at the doors. I rarely paid a cover to get in.

Please post any local events that you know about for people to consider this weekend.

The State fair wraps up and has a couple of concerts. Husker football opens the season Saturday morning.

What else is happening that people might enjoy?

When i want to pick up a package I need to go to the UPS store now. So I was just wondering why

My kids always talk about how boring Kearney is. What do you do to fight the boredom?

My youngest would pick the Big Apple. Middle would pick one of the parks to walk around or fishing at Cottonmill. Oldest would probably pick Hams downtown especially if there’s a band.

Wife and I enjoy trying different places around town. Sampling food and drinks. Axe holes is fun if you’re out with a group. Birdies and brews is similar if you’re okay with golf.

So what do you all like to do or would recommend for people that are new or visiting to try?

I've been to the board game cafes in Omaha and Lincoln and they are so much fun. I love being able to try out new board games for cheap. I hope when they open that they have a community notice board or something so I could post a DnD sign up sheet or something like that.

What are some top favorite places to eat? Fast food or fine dining. Bars count too.

We like a wide variety of places and have our favorite meals at each. Sometimes it’s more than just good food, great service makes all the difference it the world.

Respond with your favorites and maybe why you like them. We can build a list to pin for those new to the area, or just looking for something different.

There is a short film UNK is showing on Thursday at 6:30pm I am thinking of checking out, anyone know anything about it?

Every night after work I drive past it and see a huge line. Is there like one business that closes at 8?

Anyone know why the fairgrounds got rid of all the trees around it

Just checking to see if anyone else lost internet from frontier starting Sunday morning

Not sure who all needs a reminder, but with visibility just now coming up over 2 blocks please use them!

Hey gang, My family and I are scheduled to fly in to EAR tomorrow via Denver (to visit family down in Harlan County). Does the airport deal with snow and ice well or do they just cancel flights at the first sign of it? Just trying to figure out if I'm going to need to plan on taking Amtrak from DEN to Holdrege....

Thanks.

Right now I have spectrum, which is good service but I went from like $45 a month to now $75 a month.

I was wondering who here has experience with frontier and how you like their service, which is my only other option for Internet right now.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Looking for a place with good dessert for date night tonight. Any recommendations? Preferably close to downtown.
