The Callaway Chamber of Commerce wishes to sa thank you to everyone who participated in hosting th Bran riders last week. “You all were amazing and appreciated. We received so many compliments about Callaway, the friendly people and great food and how nic and clean the town looked,” said Chamber president Ke Pitkin.

Many of us can recall times that trick-or-treating was difficult, or even canceled, due to cold and snow. But a tornado? It came seemingly out of nowhere, with very little warning.

The thing about being a friendly town located in the heart of beautiful hills and valleys, is that travelers like to visit. And this summer Callaway has become a mecca for bicyclists. Just this week the community hosted nearly 400 BRAN riders, and now the local Chamber of Commerce and community volunteers are gearing back up for Tour de Nebraska. This tour is expected to have about 400 bikers pass through Callaway on Thursday, June 23.
