The Keith County Chamber of Commerce encourages everyone to come out tonight for an evening devoted to community, connection, and fun!

Ogallala National Night Out is a wonderful opportunity to meet our local first responders, connect with area organizations, enjoy family-friendly activities, and celebrate the people who help make Ogallala such a special place to call home.

A tremendous amount of planning and heart goes into making this free community event possible. We especially want to recognize Sergeant Boutin with the Ogallala Police Department who has been an integral part of bringing it all together. Her dedication to our community—and the care she puts into creating opportunities for our residents and first responders to connect—are deeply appreciated.

📅 Tuesday, August 4
⏰ 5:30–8:00 PM
📍 409 East 2nd Street, Ogallala

Come enjoy:
⭐ A community block party
💦 Dual water slide
🚓 Local first responders
🎶 Music
💃 Ogallala Dance Academy performance
🍔 Food and refreshments
🎯 Games, activities, and giveaways
🎟️ Raffle baskets and a Nintendo Switch Grand Raffle

When you arrive, stop at the Prize & Information Table first to pick up your family’s goodie bag and event passport. Visit the participating booths, collect all your stamps, and return your completed passport for two free basket raffle tickets!

Bring the family, invite your friends, and join us for an evening of fun while building an even stronger Ogallala. We hope to see our community show up in a BIG way tonight! ❤️🤍💙

As we approach the 4th, please take the time to read through this message from Nebraska Game and Parks. There are absolutely no fireworks allowed on the beach or in our concession area. Thank you.

Happy 4th of July week.
As we head into what is expected to be one of the busiest weekends of the summer season, I wanted to send a reminder that fireworks are prohibited throughout Lake McConaughy and Lake Ogallala State Recreation Areas. Please help communicate this with those you are spending the fourth with.
-
Fireworks are not permitted anywhere within the boundaries of the state recreation area. This includes campgrounds, beaches, concession and vendor locations, parking lots, roadways and any other NGPC managed property.
-
While portions of the area have received recent rainfall, we continue to experience drought conditions across the area. It is important that we all do our part to reduce fire hazards and help protect the area.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping maintain a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend for all visitors.

Have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July weekend.
