Teen Rec Horseback Riding and Roping

Howdy teens! We are planning to take an hour long horseback ride through the trails of Platte River State Park followed by a lesson on how to rope and lasso cattle.

Participants will have to provide their own transportation to Platte Ricer State Park. Participants or parents of minor participants must also sign a waiver from Platte River State Park. Each teen will be riding on their own horse. Outlook’s adaptive sports specialist will spaced out on horseback between teen riders to give verbal cues should a horse need directional correction. If you are scared, nervous or uncomfortable with horses, this event may not be right for you.

BINGO (Ages 21+)

Braille and large print BINGO is always a blast, so we’re bringing it back for a third year! There is a $10 cash buy-in at the door, which will be used as cash prizes for winners. Whether or not you fill your BINGO card, the afternoon will be filled with fun, friends, caramel apples, toppings, and apple cider (spiked or regular). BINGO cards are available in Braille, and large print or volunteer readers can be provided if neither Braille nor large print works for you.

White Cane Day Happy Hour Celebration

Taco ’bout a reason to celebrate!! It’s time for the 5th Annual White Cane Day Happy Hour. Let’s get together and raise a toast to those of us using a white cane to live, travel, and explore the world as individuals living with vision loss. This year, the fiesta will be at Fernando’s Mexican Restaurant. A refreshment and rides for those living outside of public transportation areas are being provided by local Lion’s Club chapters and for that we’d like to say GRACIAS! So come on, amigos, let’s bring the blind community together and prove that we may have less vision, but we definitely have more fun!!

Rides provided by the Lion’s Club members may be limited in space and distance. Please register by October 1st to ensure we have time to organize rides. We will try our best to accommodate, but there are no guarantees.

Outside of a complimentary refreshment, attendees are responsible for purchasing their own additional food and drinks.

Watermelon Summer Splatter at the Shooting Range (Ages 19+)

The guns will be reloaded for our return to the shooting range. Participants who joined us for a shooting event two years ago have been eager for our next one.

We will begin with an introduction and instructions from Patricia, the owner of Incendio LLC Shooting Range in Plattsmouth. Yes, we will be using real firearms with ammunition, starting with 22-caliber rifles and progressing to more unique firearm options. To add to the summer fun, this year, we will be shooting at watermelons and steel targets, which will give an adaptive touch, providing a motivating and affirming sound with each hit. We aim to please with our Outlook adventures.

Join us in the middle of a cornfield for lunch, a lesson, and the opportunity to exercise your right to bear arms. Space is limited, and transportation will be provided to and from the range starting at Outlook Nebraska.
