Through the power of social media and a great group of Junk Jaunt supporters who shared our post many times-the money found in Burwell has been claimed! A Nebraska family (and their kids) were extremely happy to hear that their money had been found and were making arrangements to pick it up!

Hello everyone! So, yesterday we were able to get some car keys back to their owner in a very short amount of time. Maybe we can do the same for someone who has lost a significant amount of money in Burwell on Friday of Nebraska's Junk Jaunt. Let's just say it is enough that we are sure that they are really, really missing it! If someone lost some money in Burwell at (or around) the library, call the Garfield County Sheriff in Burwell and he will have some questions to confirm ownership of that money!

Hey everyone! While you were "out and about" did you find some Honda keys. It's very frustrating to lose something like this- lets help him out if we can!

Anyone hitting the midweek slump after a fun weekend at Nebraska's Junk Jaunt?

The 22nd edition of Nebraska's Junk Jaunt is in the rearview mirror! From the interactions that we are seeing on social media and the comments that we are receiving through phone calls and e-mail it was a great year for both vendors and shoppers!
The planning of the 23rd annual event begins on Wednesday with the monthly meeting of the Junk Jaunt Board of Directors. Every year six (volunteer) board members, one paid staff, at least one (volunteer) community coordinator in each Junk Jaunt community along with an endless number of other volunteers work together to find ways to further promote Nebraska's Junk Jaunt. Together, we strive to provide vendors, shoppers and communities with a great experience!
We need your help! Was there something that you especially liked about the Junk Jaunt? Was there something that we should be aware of that we could look for ways to do better on? Do you have any ideas on ways to improve upon this event? Please e-mail [email protected] with all your thoughts and ideas. Please keep in mind that nothing is "too small" as many of these ideas can become great conversation starters/brainstorming ideas as we start to make preparations for the 23rd Annual Nebraska's Junk Jaunt! Make sure to stay tuned to the Nebraska's Junk Jaunt page throughout the year - you just never know when there might be some surprises and extra fun coming your way!

Hopefully everyone got a restful night of sleep before they go back to work today. Maybe you are someone who "builds in" an extra day of vacation to unpack and rest after all the excitement and adventure you had at Nebraska's Junk Jaunt. Either way, make sure to pull out your passport and put it into the mail for a chance to win prizes!

With the 22nd edition of Nebraska's Junk Jaunt in the books, we take a moment to recognize that family plays a large role in every corner of the Junk Jaunt story. Whether it be the shoppers who bring their families on a weekend of fun or here where we have a Burwell vendor who caught our eye for her unique way of including her daughter in the weekend! This vendor (who is also a teacher) found a unique way of letting her daughter not only interact with all the shoppers who came to their sale but also taught her about counties in Nebraska and states within the USA!
Thanks so much for sharing your research ladies!
