Windmill Festival

Heading east on Main Street out of Sargent, NE is a nice paved county road that eventually ends up in Ord, Ne. It has no road number, just a name: “Sargent-Ord Road”. For a one-mile stretch near Sargent the road is called “Airport Road”; yes, Sargent, NE (pop. 506) has an airport.

There are many interesting sights along the 28 mile road between Sargent and Ord, NE. One in particular is the sight of the Comstock Windmill Festival, claiming the largest collection of antique windmills. Since year 2000 an annual summer concert, drawing as many as 3,000 country music fans, has included many big-name performers like: Brad Paisley, The Oakridge Boys, Keith Urban, Ronnie Milsap, and even rock groups like ZZ Top, Three Dog Night and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Mark your 2021 calendar for June 10-12th for the worlds largest “pasture party”; order your tickets online from “Outhouse Tickets”. Believe it or not.

Thought for the Day: I don’t know anything about music. In my line you don’t have to.
