  • Connected to Her Community with Stephanie Lundgren
    This week I chat with Stephanie Lundgren.
    Stephanie grew up in Neligh Nebraska where she has served on numerous boards, was once elected to city Council and works in education.
    Her childhood is filled with memories of Main Street, her family’s pharmacy, and the New Moon Theater. Stephanie moved away from home a couple different times but her heart never really left. She is truly a home town girl.

  • Advocating for Rural with Trenton Buhr

    This week I chat with Trenton Buhr. Trenton grew up in a town of about 500 people in Southeast Nebraska.

    After high school he attended the University of Nebraska in Nebraska’s second largest city, Lincoln. After college he chose to take his degree and move to a rural community where his career allows him to be a Rural Advocate every day.

    During our conversation Trenton makes it clear that he truly thinks Rural Is Cool.
