Travelers with a taste for the bizarre, tacky, and hilarious can visit the Avoca Quack-Off, learn about the inland Linoma Lighthouse, view a Roller Skating Museum, and pay a visit to the world's largest covered wagon. Only true Cornhuskers could capture the essence of these and other authentic Nebraska phenomena, and Rick Yoder and David Harding do their home state proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a born-and-raised Nebraskan, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Nebraska Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Rick Yoder and David Harding take you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Cornhusker State. Go mooclear with two animal husbandry students who, in 1963, participated in the first cattle fallout-shelter survival test--by spending two weeks in close quarters with thirty-five cows . . . and one bull. Be wowed by the Chickendale Dancers at the annual Wayne Chicken Show--whose attractions also includea \"cluck-off\" competition. Visit the Avoca Quack-Off--when more than 1,000 people descend on Avoca (pop. 270) in mid-winter to drink beer and howl at the ducks racing across a flooded, frozen tennis court. (You can rent a bird for $5.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRick Yoder\u003c\/b\u003e has spent his career working on sustainability solutions for businesses and his leisure time looking for Nebraska's most curious people, places, and things. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Harding\u003c\/b\u003e is a regular columnist on Nebraska history for the \u003ci\u003eOmaha World-Herald\u003c\/i\u003e.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53057121485107,"sku":"9780762746835","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ueeg71Hou_9780762746835.webp?v=1781548332","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/nebraska-curiosities-quirky-characters-roadside-oddities-other-offbeat-stuff-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
