    What an incredible day we had on Bushnell Day! Even though the temperature was higher than I would have liked, it was a great day.

    Jessica Rocha, Kimball County Tourism Director|Nov 7, 2019

    Hello Kimball! Let me introduce myself – my name is Jessica Rocha, and I am the Tourism Director for Kimball County. I have decided that it might be nice if we are able to give the community a little update on the Kimball County Visitor Center/High Point Welcome Center every month or so, and the newspaper was so kind to help me out! A little bit about the Visitor Center … The County purchased this property (the old Burger King on the hill) about seven years ago and we opened in July of 2013 as an information/welcome center.
