Sidney considers camp area near Legion Park
County Extension Agent Ivan Liljegren urged developing land east of Legion Park into a 4-H youth camp for ages eight to 18. The plan aims to boost the Nebraska panhandle and northeastern Colorado, with Bridgeport or Sidney as possible sites. He described frame cabins for hundreds of campers and cited local assets like the pool, park, Lodgepole Creek, shelter house, and Armory. Funding remains a key question as studies proceed.
