WELCOME TO THE 37 SCOOP PHELPS COUNTY STATS
Holdrege: Pop. 5,527
Living in a small town is different. You know most people on a first- Bertrand: Pop. 738
name basis. You’ve probably supported their kids when they are doing Loomis: Pop. 377
a fundraiser, and you most likely went to school with your neighbor’s
Funk: Pop. 194
grandchild.
Atlanta: Pop. 131
But my favorite thing about our
“little” town is that when I go to a local Phelps County is located in
business, I PERSONALLY know where my south-central Nebraska, just
money goes. It goes into a business a 15-minute drive south of
that my friend owns. It goes to their Interstate 80 and along US
family, whom they chose to raise here. Highway 6 & 34.
It goes right back into the community
that built me.
I have always viewed Holdrege as
a “nice” place, a place where I would
someday return to. But the way I
view Holdrege and its surrounding
communities has greatly changed. We
live in a community that is truly second
to none. I am still in awe of the way we banded together to take care
of our neighbors and local businesses in the past year. We masked up,
rolled up our sleeves and got to work to keep our community going.
Now we face a new normal, and hopefully a new normal of getting
back to true community.
