In an effort to get the word out on "things to do" in Omaha this summer I will contribute my thoughts and ideas as well.  I know Rusty does a summer LivingCast each morning on Daybreak where he highlights an event, festival, camp, concert, etc. going on that day around town.  I've also started to do weekly reports for the weekend morning show.  This week I'll be heading to the Taste of Omaha taking place in Heartland of America Park/Lewis & Cleark Landing on the riverfront.  This is a three day outdoor event where the general public can be wined and dined by some of the best restaurants in the city.  Go check it out to be outdoors, hear live music, and EAT! 

i'll keep adding to this blog as I hear about/attend more events this summer.  I'd love to hear everyone's feedback (postive and negative!) on what's going around in Omaha this summer.  Or let me know what you guys hear of.  Even though we're mainly plugged into what's occuring within the city let me know about happenings in our neighboring towns.

Take note of:

-Taste of Omaha, June 5th-7th

-Omaha Children's Museum where Sesame St. Presents: The Body, all summer.

-Joslyn Museum's Sculpture Garden, opens June 6th

    Summer Arts Festival in downtown Omaha. I think it's the last weekend in June or could be July. All I know is that it's always hot whenever we go down there.

    I finally saw one of your forcasts Caitlin. I must say, very impressed. Ive watched and relied on Channel 6s' forcasts for years and this is, hands down, the best team ever. Youre a fantastic addition...Keep up the great forecasts!!
