On Monday, Mayor Doug Young proclaimed "I, Doug Young, as the Mayor of Holdrege, NE, declare the week of May 14-18, 2018, as National Skilled Nursing Care 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 "Celebrating Life's Stories", and was kicked off by a balloon release at Holdrege Memorial Homes. Prior to the ceremony, all of the female residents were treated to a special breakfast to celebrate Mother's Day with black and white theme.
