Omaha events added a new one to their annual offerings with this new one, One Community Cultural Festival.

It was held at Stinson Park in Aksarben Village on 11 August and put on by the NCA to aid flood victims.

I wanted to try this but alas I did not have time. Hopefully, I can visit at the address above soon.

Quick Bites Soul Food always has great food and I enjoy seeing them at Omaha festivals.

An open house was held today for No More Empty Pots in the Florence neighborhood of Omaha.

Besides the Cups Cafe shown below, No More Empty Pots has several kitchens, rooms and roof top for rent, an entrepreneurial program, workforce training program and a roof top garden.
