We appreciate all the individuals and businesses who have been sponsors of the Beef, Beans & Bluegrass Festival, presented by Platte Valley Companies, the last two years.
One of the local businesses that's been a sponsor since the festival kicked off is Douglas Designs Graphic Services in Gering. Douglas Designs has used its talents to create eye-catching flyers, posters, ads, yard signs, and banners, and they also created our website (beefbeansbluegrass.com).
We want to thank Douglas Designs for its tremendous support of the Beef, Beans & Bluegrass Festival, and we're excited to have them continue as a Gold Level Sponsor for the third year of the event, which is set for Aug. 21-23 in Scottsbluff/Gering.
