Welcome to the first of four episodes highlighting Burt County in Nebraska. This one focuses a lot on the natural resources available in the area and the welcoming nature of small-town living, emphasizing the sense of community and the opportunities for outdoor activities. Amber Pallas discusses her glamping venture, Amber Lea Acres, and tells us why Burt County was definitely the place it was meant to be. Jenny Penny highlights some of the revitalization efforts and shares her excitement for Riverfront Days. Finally, Jordan Swenson covers Summit Lake and what it's like to work with the Nebraska Game and Parks to bring areas of fishing, trails, and more; plus the important role it plays on economic growth for the state.
