Reader Poll: What are your favorite spots in Saline County?

A bench underneath the trees at Doane University's campus is a favorite lush spot for a morning cup of coffee and writing updates for the Saline County Daily Slice before the heat of the day. What are your favorite nooks in Saline County?

Editor's Note: I love to go find places to write that are outside the walls of The Crete News office and explore Saline County. Lately I have loved sitting on this bench at Doane University with a cup of inspiration, sunscreen, a hotspot and my keyboard clicking away. Send me your favorite places to add to my list of Saline County Must See's.

State soccer send off

Crete High School sends their state bound soccer players off to Omaha in style with announcing each player’s name and the pep band playing the school fight song. Boys soccer plays in Omaha tomorrow at noon.

Proceeded with caution next to Smithfield. A family of geese are trying to make their way and do not understand the T intersection.
