Trail of Treasures

Tourism promoters along Nebraska's Heritage Highway 136 in southeastern Nebraska are planning a second flea market event along the byway, scheduled for October 4-6.
"The 2012 event was so successful that the 2013 event has been extended to three days to include Friday," according to coordinator, Julie Katz of Fairbury. Several "corridor" communities along Highways 8 and 14 will also be participating.
A byway-long flea market event, called the "Trail of Treasures" will potentially bring thousands of vistiors to communities along southeastern Nebraska highways in search of bargains.
Volunteer coordinators in each community are needed to help with this large event.
Information about the "Trail of Treasures" flea market event can be found on the new website, www.HeritageHighway136.com or by logging on to www.HeritageHighwayFleaMarket.com.
Members of the Heritage Highway 136 Association representing communities, attractions, and the Nebraska Tourism Commission volunteer their time to promote tourism marketing initiatives and events along the byway.
Nebraska's Heritage Highway is a 238 mile stretch of Nebraska Highway 136 extending from historic Brownville along the banks of the Missouri River westward to Edison. The Heritage Highway was designated a state scenic byway by Governor Mike Johanns in 1999, one of nine scenic byways in the state of Nebraska.
