The first weekend in May is jam packed with activities.
From a coin show and a living history presentation to a vintage festival and an art open house, this weekend has something for everyone.
Hereâs a rundown of events to help you plan your weekend:
Coin show
The Fremont Coin Clubâs 62nd Annual Coin Show will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Christensen Field Main Arena. There will be approximately 20 coin dealers attending the show from Nebraska and surrounding states.
Items that will be available for purchase will include collector coins, gold and silver coins and bullion, supplies, tokens, old currency, world coins, and other collectable items. The coin show offers the community an opportunity not only to purchase coins, but also to sell their own coins to dealers attending the show.
Richard Roeder remembers the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated a little differently than most people.
At the time, Roeder was a projectionist at The Empress Theater in downtown Fremont. Roeder was set to go to the theater when he learned the American President had been shot.
âWhen I got here, I decided to go into the projection room, tap into the radio and put that radio news broadcast on the speakers in the theater,â Roeder said. âBelieve it or not, after about 10 minutes of that, the people who were here to go to the movie complained and I had to turn that off.â
