The Nebraska Prairie Museum is planning a patriotic 250th display during the months of June and July 2026 and we need your help! The Museum has paired up with the Nebraska State Quilt Guild to celebrate America’s 250th with “Quilts Across Nebraska!” For this program, the State Quilt Guild is asking Nebraska museums, shops, churches, libraries, civic organizations, etc. to register with the State Quilt Guild (America250@NSQG.org) to exhibit patriotic and/or historical quilts during June and July 2026. The hope is for Nebraska to record the largest quilt show in the Midwest or even the USA! Who knows, if the Nebraska Prairie Museum gets a lot of the Quilts of Honor, maybe the Museum will have the biggest display right here in Nebraska!
Cheers to another year around the sun with thisbig hearted, fun loving guy! Happy Birthday Mark!
