While Husker Harvest Days is getting underway today, a couple of great activities are planned for tomorrow.
To celebrate the success of renewable fuels like ethanol and soy biodiesel, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman will proclaim September Renewable Fuels Month at 10:30 a.m., tomorrow (Sept. 15) in front of the Ag Commodities building on Husker Harvest Days Main Street.
Olympic Gold Medalist Curt Tomasevicz will also be on hand.
He will speak at the proclamation and will be available for photos/autographs. He will also be part of a special tweet up and social media event at 2 p.m. in the hospitality tent, then he'll be back at the Ag Commodities building at 4 p.m. if you'd like to see the gold medal. (He was recently at the State Fair, click here and here.)
"We appreciate Governor Heineman taking time to highlight the benefits of renewable fuels and declare September Renewable Fuels Month at Husker Harvest Days. Corn ethanol and soy biodiesel are clean burning renewable fuels that provide important benefits to rural communities across Nebraska," Alan Tiemann, chairman of the Nebraska Corn Board and a farmer from Seward, said in a press release about the event.
Remember that the Ag Commodities are in a different building this year – they've moved just across Main Street where they have been in the past to a larger building.
