CHADRON – Northwest Nebraska tourism industry professionals will have a chance to network with each other during the fourth annual Treasure Chest of the Northwest April 4, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. at the Dawes County Fairgrounds Event Center.

Discover Northwest Nebraska has once again teamed up with Chadrad Communications and the Chadron Chamber of Commerce to host the event.

Three tourism awards will be presented to the Frontline Employee of the Year, the Business/Attraction of the Year and the Tourism Volunteer of the Year. Nominations for the awards are open until March 1 at https://discovernwnebraska.com/industry-awards/.

In addition to the awards, attendees will have the opportunity to network and exchange ideas and information with each other and hear from several speakers during the workshop to prepare for the upcoming tourism season. A brochure exchange will be offered, and attendees will have chances to win several prizes.  

Event coordinators, business/attraction managers, owners and employees are invited to enjoy heavy appetizers provided by B&B Catering, networking and informational sessions. Invitations will be mailed out soon, but anyone who works in the Dawes & Sioux County tourism industry and wants to attend can do so, regardless of whether or not they receive an invitation. RSVPs are required, however, so interested individuals are asked to contact Discover Northwest Nebraska Director Kerri Rempp.

Tickets are $5 per person, payable at the door to B&B Catering by cash or check. RSVPs are due March 29 to director@discovernwnebraska.com, or by calling 308-432-3006.
