The 2018 Nebraska Passport Program is officially underway.  Marketing Manager Jenn Gjerde says this program is designed to get people out and see what the state has to offer.  There are 70 attractions in eleven categories where people can stop and collect visitor stamps.  The first step is to get a passport.

Gjerde says those who visit all the locations could win great prizes.

Passport booklets are available at all the participating stops.  You can also download the Nebraska Passport app and get digital stamps.  The program runs through September 30th.  Last year, more than 40,000 people took part and about 1,000 visited all the locations on the list.
