Welcome to the third episode of Sheila's Shout-outs, bonus content from the Growing Small Town Nebraska podcast. My name is Sheila Jenkinson, and on the shout outs, I talk about my favorite places, spaces, food, events, activities, and more that I've discovered either growing up in Nebraska or traveling throughout the state. Don't forget the Growing Small Town Nebraska podcast episodes do come out the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. And on those we interview business and community leaders about what they're doing to revitalize the small towns throughout the Cornhusker State.

On the last episode, I did talk about the Nebraska honeymoon that Clark and I took. And I meant to continue that this time, however, with additional travels and events added to my schedule through the Growing Small Town, Nebraska podcast and some new things that are in the works. Well, I need to keep this one a little shorter. So we'll revisit the honeymoon on a later episode.

First shout out today goes to WEB, that's Women Embracing Business. It's a part of the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce. And I love to attend their general meetings, I'm actually a part of them on a regular basis. But this last time, I was able to be one of their speakers along with Emma, who is from the Intersect Co-working Incubator and Office space. So she spoke as well. Some of the things I love about Women Embracing Business is first of all, we meet in different locations every time, so you get to see different spots throughout Norfolk. I love that. Different speakers are presented each time as well. And then the food is great, too. So if you're interested in becoming a part of Women Embracing Business, you can look them up on Facebook. You can also just go ahead and message me and I'd love to tell you more about that. So this last time, like I said, I was speaking; Emma spoke as well. And our lunch was provided by NOFO pizza. Oh so good. It was crazy good. And also it was held at Intersect Co-working and Incubator and office space right where we do record the Growing Small Town Nebraska podcast, so that was convenient as well. Thanks to everybody who attended that day. And again, it's just a great group to be a part of.

My next shout out goes to Potter, Nebraska. Potter was a part of a tourism sponsorship package. Sidney and Cheyenne county brought us in and we stayed in the area for a few days got to do a lot of the tourism there and also recorded three podcasts from the area. So if you're part of a Visitor's Bureau, chamber, economic development, and you're interested, I am now booking trips for the upcoming spring, summer, and fall. There is limited availability because of travel, but if you are interested in doing something like that, I would love to share those details with you. So just send me an email at growingsmall townne@gmail.com.

So let's talk about Potter for a minute. Marcie and I got to visit so many great places in Potter when we were out there and one of those is on the 2024 Nebraska Passport this year. That's Flyover Brewing and Hangar 39 Very, very unique stop that if you are in western Nebraska, you have got to make the time to head over to Flyover Brewing/Hangar 39 And right there next to it is Chuckaboo Station coffee shop and gift boutique...flavored coffees any kind of coffee or heart might desire and you can shop while you sip while you're there. And then just mosey on over to Flyover Brewing Hangar 39 for your afternoon or whatever...evening stop as well.

I love the community spirit and Potter everywhere you go, there's been revitalization. So you can check out and see all these great new ways that they are bringing people into their community. And they're also keeping the people in the community entertained and loving where they live.
