You will both laugh and be touched during this podcast! The Platte River Bard visits the Self Expressions Gallery in the historic downtown of Nebraska City, Nebraska. We visit with Honey Lynn Larson-Self, who is the new Owner and also contributing Artist at the five-room Gallery, as well as Terry Hager, who is one of the 30+ Artists who feature their work there.
Honey Lynn Larson-Self has been an avid self-taught painter and creative person all of her life. At the age of 11, she earned a grand champion purple ribbon at the Cass County Fair with one of her painted saws, but wasn’t able to take it to State because she had to be 12 years old to do so. She most recently owned Honey’s Artwork Studio Bee in Nebraska City, which gave group painting lessons, and has now incorporated those painting lessons into the Self Expressions Gallery. Please check the website below for all of the Gallery's events.
Terry Hager is an award winning painter from Fargo, North Dakota, and an US Veteran. He originally studied architecture and soon found that he was drawn to change his degree to a BA in Arts from the North Dakota State University. He was a Teaching Assistant at UNL where he received his Masters degree. He has taught Art at UNL, North Dakota State University, and also privately.
For all of the teachers at our schools, please be sure to listen, because there is an opportunity to work with Self Expressions Gallery to feature art from your kids. The Gallery wants to cultivate art with the kids as well as adults, so you won't want to miss this discussion.
Both Honey Lynn and Terry’s warm demeanor and sense of humor made them fantastic guests on the Platte River Bard, and we thank them for taking the time to share with us.
The Self Expressions Gallery is located at 713 Central Avenue, Nebraska City, NE. 402-209-0463.

We spoke with Dawn at Eagle Hollow Haunts in Eagle Nebraska to find out what this haunting season has in store. We surprisingly found an entire subculture of haunting fans, and a partnership between haunts all over the country. The Eagle Hollow Haunts is a long-standing immersive interaction with each person who enters the haunt, and is amazing fall fun!
Dawn has an unending amount of energy and passion for building haunted houses, characters and sets. Dawn, Shane, and one of the owners Rebecca, welcomed us into the Haunt and we had a fantastic time! All of the people at Eagle Hollow Haunts are part of a welcoming environment and work together to bring their customers the best haunt experience. The Haunts will scare you, but they won't overscare you! This is definitely worth the drive out for a fun-filled October evening. Eagle Hollow Haunts is open in October, as well as the day after Halloween. Don't miss this gem located outside of Lincoln, Nebraska, which was voted Nebraska's Scariest Haunt of 2019 by Travel Noir!
