North Platte, Neb. - Twelve contestants from around the area made their way to the Lincoln County Fairgrounds Thursday afternoon to compete in the "You Can Be A Star" singing competition and Eben Rosentrater took home first place.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rosentrater is 21 years old and is a native of Paxton. He is a student at Chadron State College majoring in communications with a focus in media production. He performed Tennessee Whiskey on his guitar done in the style of Chris Stapleton.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rosentrater has been playing guitar for around two years, but music has always been in his life in some capacity. "I have been singing my entire life.... and I have played saxophone for 10 (years)" said Rosentrater.&nbsp;

Earning second place in this year's competition was Nichole Schmidt who performed Misery by PINK and Steven Tyler and third place was Braydyn Hickman who performed Jayton and Jill by Zane Williams. Hickman performed the song on his guitar.&nbsp;

The contestants had the option of singing to a soundtrack or playing an instrument. During the competition, eight contestants sang to a soundtrack and four played an instrument. Two contestants performed their own original song.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rosentrater will advance to the Galaxy of Stars Talent Search Finals later in 2024 where the Overall Vocalist will win a $4500.00 Nashville Recording Session!&nbsp;

The Galaxy of Stars Talent Search provides an opportunity for talent of all ages to perform and engage with an audience. Since its beginning in Nebraska in 1993, the program's vision is to encourage, inspire and be a platform for talented individuals to grow in ability and skill in a friendly and caring atmosphere. To "Dream, Believe and Achieve" and to enjoy the excitement of competing and connecting with others is the spirit that can be experienced as a part of the Galaxy of Stars Family.

Paxton native wins the 2024 "You Can Be A Star" singing competition

Ogallala, Neb. - Fire crews responded to two separate fire calls on Thursday with one fire call taking place in Ogallala city limits while the other fire was outside city limits.&nbsp;

According to the Ogallala Volunteer Fire Department (OVFD), around 6:00am (MT) crews were dispatched to a garage fire. When the crew arrived, they observed the fire self-vented through an exterior wall and roof. Firefighters extinguished the main fire in the garage.&nbsp;

OVFD states the cause of the fire was accidental, but the accident is still under investigation. There were no injuries reported.&nbsp;

Paxton FD - Command with extra personnel 

Just around 2:40pm (MT), crews were dispatched to a grass fire outside of the city limits. The OVFD says a grass fire was moving towards the river bottom. Crews successfully stopped forward movement of the fire. Crews would work on small acres as mop up was extremely complex with multiple hazards such as trees, difficult access, weather and carrying fuel types.&nbsp;

The fire department said in a press release roads were able to cut lines around the area as well as creativity mitigate a tremendously problematic area on the south side of the incident. Crews spent around 6 hours from time of page to apparatus back in service. No injuries were reported from the grass fire deemed accidental in nature from agriculture process.&nbsp;

North Platte, Neb. - After months of anticipation, the Paws on the Platte community dog art auction is here!&nbsp;Twenty-six life-size dog statues will be bid on and sold Friday evening, July 26, at Pals Brewing Company.
