National Tourism Week presents Monday Math: $42,000,000 = Hundreds of millions. 12-month Hall County hotel revenue was $42 million, which grows exponentially considering how much tourists spend at restaurants and on entertainment while they stay in the Grand Island area.

Grand Island's ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. The seven flags carried from Veterans Park represent the seven Hall County soldiers that died in the conflict. The ceremony will continue at the Hall County Courthouse at 2pm.
80º March temperatures will probably signal a fair number of the Sandhill Cranes to move north, but there were still a lot near the Alda Viewing Deck this morning at sunrise. This deck and park were recently renovated by the Central Platte Natural Resources District. #simplygrand
