• Chadron Falls to Torrington (chadronradio.com) — Chadron’s American Legion baseball teams dropped both games to Torrington, but local fans should note the juniors will be in Alliance on the 16th after a short break. The seniors, meanwhile, head to Ogallala and then east for their annual College World Series trip, giving area baseball followers several chances to catch them in action.
   

• Nebraska joins other conservative states in rebranding Pride Month (nebraskapublicmedia.org) — Alliance is among several smaller Nebraska communities hosting Pride events this month, even as the governor issues a proclamation rebranding June in a way critics see as sidelining LGBTQ+ families. Advocates argue that queer and trans Nebraskans live in every corner of the state and say political rhetoric strongly influences how welcome those families feel in places like Alliance.
