On Monday, Mayor Doug Young proclaimed "I, Doug Young, as the Mayor of Holdrege, declared the week of May 15-20, 2017 as National Nursing Home Week, a week to honor both our vulnerable citizens who receive care and the dedicated ones giving the care." The theme for this year is "The Spirit of America", and was celebrated by a balloon release at Holdrege Memorial Homes. Prior to the ceremony, all residents who are mothers and grandmothers were treated to a special breakfast to celebrate Mother's Day.
