Bargain Buyway, the Ultimate Road Trip, is coming to northeast Nebraska on April 27th, 28th and 29th. We have 22 towns along the 250 mile loop. They are Royal, Orchard, Page, Inman, O’Neill, Emmet, Atkinson, Butte, Spencer, Bristow, Lynch, Monowi, Verdel, Niobrara, Verdigre, Winnetoon, Brunswick, Plainview, Neligh, Clearwater, Stuart and Bassett.

Bargain Buyway is an opportunity to entice people and tourists to our area for a weekend of treasure hunting and sightseeing. Vendors and Businesses in each town will be having specialty products: rummage sales, antiques, old machinery, tools, equipment and food fairs—new, used, cherished and abused! We are encouraging everyone along the route—even in the rural areas—to clean out their closets, the garages, even the shelter belts and sell it! It basically comes down to if you have something to sell or a service to offer, to sell along the Bargain Buyway! Books, craft items, woodworking, rugs, quilts, scrapbooking, food, food items, cars, parts, machinery, anything you want! And we not only have beautiful country—we have very talented people!

It is so important for our small communities to promote themselves. We have so much to offer, but not many ways to get people to our area.

A guidebook is available that tells of the happenings in each town. This is sponsored by local businesses and is for sale by calling Gary & Diane Ober at 402-893-2880 or by checking at various businesses in each town.
