Solid foundation keeps Kimball family in place
The Gianato family of Kimball has endured repeated floods from Elkhorn Creek beginning with the 2001 and 2002 deluges. Patriarch James Gianato, an Italian immigrant, built a Kimball grocery and butcher shop in 1923 that the family kept running through water disasters and wartime service. Despite flood damage and FEMA efforts, the business remains a local landmark with the family continuing to work together and support the community.
