On Sunday, May 25, 2025, at 2:00pm in the Betty Strong Encounter Center, Dan Holtz and Gary Zalud will present “Heroism on the Plains: Story Songs of Courage and Determination.” The songs are about fascinating stories of homesteaders, Native Americans, World War II heroes, natural wonders and more from Nebraska and Great Plains history. Admission is free with a reception to follow.

Holtz and Zalud, whose musical collaboration began during their days growing up in Ord,
NE, now perform as “Flatwater Reunion,” after recently re-connecting. Playing an assortment of acoustic instruments, the duo brings Nebraska and Great Plains history alive through their acoustic-electric renditions of Holtz’s and Zalud’s story songs.
