Citizens, landowners, ranchers, farmers, cheese makers and tankers are all coming together to honor State Senator Ken Haar for his work protecting the Ogallala Aquifer. Sen. Haar was the force behind a Special Session on the pipeline and continues to make sure the proper laws get put in place to protect our land and water.
Now it’s time for the Pipeline Fighters and the Sandhills Lovers to stand with Sen. Haar.
Robert and Kristine Bernt, owners of Clear Creek Organics, are hosting the event on June 28 & 29 with a group of citizens serving on the Host Committee. The main event is Friday evening, check below for details and address to the event.
