Thanksgiving Banner

No turkey or Forks?

Interestingly no turkey was served at the first Thanksgiving dinner. The menu included oysters, lobster, eel, deer, duck, goose, and fish. There was pumpkin but no pumpkin pies.

This first thanksgiving dinner was eaten with spoons and cut with knives, but no forks since they were not even invented and used until 10 years later.

A weekly Fun Fact will be posted to the website. Tune in every week to learn something new! If you have a fact you would like to submit, send it to editor@avocanebraska.com.

The Cornhusker Country Music Theater is gradually getting a NEW LOOK!

2020 10 04 New look CCMT 1

As of now, the top front is still old barn board, but there is a new, white metal awning where the old shake shingles used to be and below that, new, Cornhusker red, metal siding. Little by little, the whole front will have a new, fresher look.

The CCMT is a nonprofit organization that operates solely on the tax-deductible donations of generous donors.

Admission to all of our live, family-friendly shows is only $4 for all those over 13 and FREE to those younger.

We have a small dance floor and encourage you to bring your friends and loved ones to join us for a good, clean, old-fashioned musical experience.

Call for more information, 800-487-8797, ext 211 or email cornhuskercountrymusic@gmail.com.

We're located at 211 Main Street, Louisville, NE.
