WILD WEST microFEST
"Thursday, June 12 features the 2nd annual Wild West microFEST at the Wild West Arena Pavilion. Come join in the fun and sample 15 different Craft beers made available by Johnson Brothers Liquor Company from Omaha, Nebraska. The tasting begins at 5:00 p.m. and runs through 9:00 p.m."In case any of you missed the first annual microFEST (which I assume most of you did because I don't recall seeing any of you there); here is your chance to taste 15 exotic beers; receive a free tiny glass; and feel like a true beer snob in the heart of light beer land. You will have the opportunity to really feel like a professional "dark beer drinker" and attempt to justify your choices in beer to the rest of the Plattelanders who will stare at you through the chain link fence and wonder why you can't just drink Bud Light like everyone else.
The NebraskaLand Days staff would also like to remind all of you that following the beer fest you will have the opportunity to watch some live Professional Boxing in the arena.
To sum up: 1. Taste some beers delivered especially for you from Omaha; 2. Watch local boxers pound eachother. If you were looking for a reason to come to North Platte this Summer--there it is.
In other NebraskaLand Days news. . .
- Finger 11 cancelled out as headliner for rock night, but don't be discouraged because Lifehouse have stepped in to graciously fill the coveted spot (although at a higher price). . .
- Due to negative press for not conveying a family friendly theme, The 2008 slogan, "10 Days of Disorderly Conduct" has been replaced with "Nebraska's Official State Celebration." Not sure who officially decided that, but if you were planning on conducting yourself in a disorderly fashion, please be advised.

Wow. Anyone will look like a genius at this one. As long as you're not in the North Platte train of thought:
"Lager, Pilsner, Ale...who gives a shit. I drink Bud."
What, New Belgium didn't want any of this?? Odells couldn't make the 3.5 hour drive? Left-Hand?
Isn't there a brewery in Kearney NE?
Do they invite home brewers?
For Nebraska's 'Official state celebration', and for a state that offers little in the way of entertainment or cultural arts shy of distilled grains and meth raids, you would think this had the potential to be a spectacle of mish mashed beer entries.
Then again, the highlight of the parade is a gang of drunks who shoot guns on a flatbed trailer.
