What we love about Nebraska
"Strong family values, small communities, strong work ethics, nature and simple pleasures of life. Corn fields and sunsets." — Judy Beach
"Stuhr Museum in Grand Island, Pioneer Village in Minden, Hastings Museum (the birthplace of Kool-Aid!). Knowing you can always count on your neighbors. Kids being able to ride their bikes to the library, the Cornhuskers, some of the best beef in the world, Willa Cather. Knowing that no matter where I roam, my heart and soul aren't at peace until I'm home. There is no place like Nebraska!" — Nancy Johnson
"Omaha zoo." — Terri Gordy
"The smell of alfalfa along I-80 and the sunsets on the plains in Southwest Nebraska ... nothing is prettier!" — Dee Dugdale
"The Sandhill crane migration in late winter and early spring!" — Kathy Valcq Kinnamon
"Everything! The landscape: rolling hills of pasture and cornfields, beautiful rivers. Eagles and other wildlife. The weather, Husker football, the people. Oh, and the great state parks like Fort Robinson, Johnson Lake and Chadron. It is a great state to raise a family, and I would never, never live anywhere else!" — Leann Friesen Smith
"Corn and more corn." — Chet Vier
