Nebraska State Day 2016: Sign Up Info


The Omaha-Council Bluffs Miniature Guild proudly presents Nebraska State Day 2016: "Cozy Nook." This exciting and fun event will happen on September 17, 2016 in LaVista, Nebraska. We usually have a good turnout of people from the surrounding states, and we'd love it if you'd come join us once again. You can learn about some of our previous Nebraska State Days by clicking HERE.

"Cozy Nook" has a kitchen space and a dining space with a gorgeous glass roof. Imagine the soft, warm light streaming in to help wake you up with your morning coffee:


There's just enough space to cook up some delicious food and clean up the dishes:


This little room looks incredibly cozy. It's a perfect place to sit with a friend to talk about miniatures:


It's also easy to see inside! No craning the neck around for this build:


If this looks like something you'd enjoy, come join us! We have a great day planned with special gifts, raffles, food, and shopping. 

Here are the details:
