Falls City EDGE Annual Banquet

Falls City EDGE held its annual banquet last week at the Elks Club to celebrate 2016 and the folks who helped make it a successful year.

The EDGE Investor and Community Relations committee each year honors an investor by presenting the prestigious EDGE Investor of the Year Award. The 8th annual award went to co-winners, Butch and Dobey Haws, and the City of Falls City.

“Butch and Dobey Haws have worked together to create a cultural experience that has been enjoyed by hundreds of visitors from near and far,” EDGE Director Beckie Cromer said. “Mitch Glaeser accurately proclaimed that ‘Butch and Dobey are the rock stars of 2016’ because of all the tireless efforts they have given to the Falls City community. Their hard work and dedication brought the Falter Museum to the downtown district and, in 2016, was chosen as a tourist destination for the Passport Program by the Nebraska Tourism Council. Additionally, they hosted some great events this year including the Stone Street Art Walk and the 103rd birthday celebration of the late great, George ‘Pee Wee’ Erwin.
