If you happen to have the new 2021 copy of the Eastern Nebraska/Western Iowa Car Counsel Booklet, there are a couple errors we wanted to make you aware of:

The cover of the book says 2021 but the spine says 2020.  It is in fact the 2021 version.

Secondly and of importance to our membership, there is an advertisement for the 2021 Tour Nebraska.  The car counsel booklet inaccurately states the Tour is out of Kearney.  This is not correct.  The tour will begin both days from Hastings Nebraska.  

Just wanted to clear up any confusion this may have caused.  See you on June 4-6, 2021 in Hastings!!
