What an amazing day!
On behalf of the Bold Nebraska team, our heartfelt thanks go out to each and every person who took part in Harvest the Hope.
To everyone who bought tickets and came from near and far, we hope you enjoyed the experience as much as we did.
To our production partners at 1% Productions and Spectral Q — we could not have done this without you!
To all the volunteers, who did everything from weeding corn fields to painting signs to making late-night catering for the artists, you were the backbone of making this happen and we are truly grateful for your time, sweat, and willingness to pitch in wherever we needed you.
To all of our honored guests — tribal leaders and activists, farmers, ranchers, and Pipeline Fighters who have worked tirelessly to stop the Keystone XL pipeline for six years and running, thank you for standing with us and sharing your stories.
