Our Member Celebration is TONIGHT! 🎉🎈

Swipe to discover what’s in store for this special evening! Each year we host Member Celebration to honor our members. Tonight is all about celebrating them, showing our appreciation, and enjoying a fun evening together.

Special thanks to the Nebraska Pork Producers Association for sponsoring our meal! They will be on site serving their delicious main course and sharing more about the important work they do. Hiland Dairy is generously donating ice cream for dessert, and the Jambalaya Pep Band will provide music to entertain during dinner.

Nothing says summer like baseball, family time, and a day at the ballpark! ⚾

We're honored to help make Family Sundays with the Hastings Sodbusters accessible and affordable for local families once again this season.

For just $44, families of four can enjoy an afternoon of baseball, ballpark favorites, and quality time together. Plus, after the game, young fans get the chance to step onto the field and run the bases, a tradition that never gets old!

Investing in family-friendly opportunities is one of the many ways we support the communities we serve. We hope to see lots of smiles in the stands this summer!

We're sending our best wishes to Raksha as she prepares for her next adventure in Colorado! 💛

During her time at the Hastings Museum, she has been an integral part of our Education Department. She played a key role in developing programs centered around our exhibits, planning educational events for children and adults, teaching Summer Fun classes, and creating meaningful opportunities for our community to connect with history, science, and culture.

We are grateful for the many ways she has contributed to the Museum and for the positive impact she has made on our community.

Please join us in thanking Raksha for her time at the Hastings Museum and wishing her all the best as she begins her new role at the Windsor History Museum!
