Day Two:

First stop Day 2  – Pilger
Visiting Pilger was an amazing experience.  We were able to see first hand how one small community can overcome the destruction they experienced when a tornado flattened their town in 2014.  Visiting with us were Dr. David Gnad, local veterinarian who helped with animal disposal and care and Josh Alexander, a local cattle feeder whose family lost their home and buildings as well as livestock.  Josh also gave us a tour of Pilger so we could see the progress made in reconstruction.  This was a great example of “It Takes a Village”.

Second Stop – Day two – Pender –   We could have spent much more time in Pender, but while there we were hosted for lunch by Charter West Bank, joined by many LEAD alums, saw a presentation from Thurston Manufacturing of their “Tailgate Grill”, visited the PalaceHotel, took a tour of the town and heard from many great speakers who wanted us to see their beautiful town.  Wow!

Here is a link to a great article which showcases the activities taking place in this very progressive small town.

Our last and final stop for the day was in Prague – Shad Rhynalds was on hand to give us a tour of their hops facility.

Here is a link to their facility website: http://www.rhynaldshops.com/

While we were in Prague we were also able to visit the Kolac Korner where we heard from CarlSousek about Czech Heritage Days and their Pink Bandana Mud Volleyball Tournament.  Mark Nemec, owner of Kolac Korner entertained us while we enjoyed his kolaches!
