The Beemer Play Daze is held annually the fourth weekend in July.
The event is sponsored by the Beemer Community Club, with help from several other organizations such as the Volunteer Fire and Rescue, the Firefighters Auxiliary, and the American Legion and its Auxiliary.
Most of the activities take place along Main St. in Beemer or in the Beemer Park.

West Point’s Fourth of July celebration is a fun family event that is capped with one of the top fireworks shows in the area.
The day traditionally includes games for kids, horseshoe pitching contests, bingo, baseball games, a ranch rodeo or cattle penning event, and sometimes a musical act or two.
It’s also the day the West Point Chamber of Commerce serves its annual BBQ, offering beef and pork sandwiches for a reasonable price.
Shortly before dusk, the park fills with people anxious to watch the night sky light up. West Point’s Volunteer Fire Department, with the assistance of other volunteers, handles the annual fireworks show.



Each July for more than 10 years now, hundreds of people have gathered on the West Point-Beemer High School football field and track for the Cuming County Relay for Life.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an event that gives everyone in communities a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.
The relay involves a Survivor’s Lap, Luminaria Ceremony and a Fight Back ceremony.
It’s become an event that residents from across the county have come to embrace and support. Participants often join teams, which adopt a team name or theme, and then hold various fundraisers to raise money for cancer research.


Wisner has gone extreme in truck and tractor pulling, having hosted an annual pull since 2004. That pull has been voted “Pull of the Year” each year by the Outlaw Truck and Tractor Pulling Association.
The event is titled “Thunder by the River,” which is fitting since the event is held at Wisner River Park and brings a thunderous array of pulling action.
A local group of volunteers head up the Thunder by the River Executive Committee which does all the legwork to organize such a tremendous event for the City of Wisner.
The event is traditionally held the third weekend in August and has been labeled as the “Bowling Green of the West” by many associated with the pulling association.
With a proud Irish heritage, the City of Wisner hosts an annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration that is in direct rivalry with neighboring O’Neill for top Irish celebration in the state. The event is held in the proximity of March 17, generally the weekend following the holiday.
Events held include: a parade, fun run-walk, Irish meal and dance, king and queen coronation, and many other events for both young and old.
Held in either late June or early July, the annual Wisner Jr. Livestock Show and Wisner Lions Club Rodeo are hits in this part of Nebraska.
The livestock show features plenty of 4-H competitions for kids, a hot dog eating contest, a barbecue, a road rally, a poker run, junk wars, and plenty of other activities, as well as top musical entertainment.
The rodeo involves two shows that take place the Friday and Saturday of the Jr. Livestock Show. Top local and area cowboys take part in McKay Rodeo competition. The event features a Saturday drawing in which one lucky ticket-holder drives off in a new vehicle. Also featured are the famous Lions Club burgers, which are grilled and served both nights.
