Join us for the John G. Neihardt Foundation's only fundraiser of the year: the 25th Annual Laureate's Feast Gala, honoring Walt and Linda Duda as Word Senders!

Spend the evening enjoying a meal prepared by Native American Chef Anthony Warrior, drinking a selection of fine wines, bidding on enviable auction items, enjoying a short program emceed by Mike Kelly (author and previous Omaha World Herald columnist) - and best of all, supporting the work of the Neihardt Foundation!

Your support helps continue and expand the Foundation's programming, which this year has included the 49th Annual Neihardt Day celebration; monthly “Sunday at Museum” literary programs; the Cultural Connections summer camp for Native American school kids; and a Spring Conference focused on a mysterious monument built by Neihardt in honor of mountain man Hugh Glass, the subject of Neihardt’s “Song of Hugh Glass.” Most of these programs are offered for free.

By purchasing tickets or making a donation, you also help support the John G. Neihardt State Historic Site, a vibrant cultural and literary site in Bancroft, Nebraska.
