Board approves Winnevegas 5K route for tribal cultural fundraiser
Summary
The county approved a request by the Winnevegas Casino Resort (Winnebago Tribe) to use a short stretch of county road for a 5K run/walk to raise money for tribal cultural programs; secondary roads had no objections and safety measures were discussed.
Tom Tisdale, representing Winnevegas Casino Resort and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, asked for permission to use a last‑mile portion of 330th Street and Calhoun Avenue South for a 5K run/walk to raise money for tribal cultural programs. "We're planning... to host a 5 k fun run walk on Saturday to raise money for cultural events for the tribe," Tisdale said, describing planned volunteer and medical coverage and coordination with the sheriff's department.
Secondary Roads staff said they had no concerns about the roadway section and expected sufficient volunteer support and medical presence; the board voted unanimously to approve the event route. Supervisors encouraged the applicant to coordinate logistics with secondary roads and local law enforcement to ensure participant safety.
