Hear how the community of Sidney, NE turned their community around after the departure of Cabela's/Bass Pro.  When Bass Pro bought out long time business Cabela's and moved the operations to Missouri, citizens of Sidney made a decision to prove people wrong. One newspaper article was even published that the last person out of Sidney should turn out the lights.  The citizens came together and made a difference in their community.  They went from having over 200 houses for sale after the closing of the headquarters to being in a housing shortage in 2024.
