Volunteer Luncheon at Pizza Hut

As a token gesture to express our appreciation to the many volunteers who help us achieve success with various Chamber activities throughout the year, the Chamber hosts an annual Volunteer Luncheon. Again this year Mike Kennedy, Manager, Pizza Hut/KFC/Taco Bell worked with us to make our April 18 luncheon a great success. Nearly 40 volunteers accepted our invitation and enjoyed not only lunch, but also, spirited conversation and the commradery of others. The Chamber Board of Directors and the Chamber staff are very grateful for the services provided by our many volunteers and wholeheartedly acknowledge that without them and our loyal members, we would be unable to serve our community effectively. THANK YOU!

"The Road Less Traveled" Visits McCook

Seth Denney, a McCook High School graduate and the weeknight news anchorman on NTV out of Kearney, takes a few minutes to sign autographs for students of Central Elementary.		The Road Less Traveled program which aired on the Kearney NTV station on April 18 featured the 4th & 5th grade students at Central Elementary in McCook. The students formed the State of Nebraska and held a sign designating ‘McCook’ as well as signs saying “We love NTV!”

McCook's own Seth Denney, a graduate of MHS, came home to film the Nebraska Television program "The Road Less Traveled" in McCook on Monday, April 16. The show, which is in its 3rd year of broadcasting, visits a new community each week and then airs the program during its news features at 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. Seth and his cameraman, Tom Snell, filmed over six hours while visiting a number of landmarks around McCook. Snell is a graduate of McCook Community College.

Snell and Denney were both excited to revisit old acquaintances and memories. They were also quite impressed by the progress that has been made in McCook over the years. Denney was a 'celebrity chef' for the Chamber's Homespun Fun BBQ Contest last summer during Crazy Days and has agreed to emcee the Governor's Ball being planned by the 125th Celebration Committee for December 8, 2007.
