Papio Fun Park -- May Small Business of the Month
To any child who may stumble upon this, today is your lucky day.
Provided below is an air tight case why your parents or caregivers should take you to Papio Fun Park, the Greater Omaha Chamber's May Small Business of the Month.
Copy this in your best handwriting - or post it on your parents' Facebook page - and then enjoy your outing. (You're welcome.)
Dear Mom & Dad,
For more than 20 years, Papio Fun Park in Papillion has been providing kids like me (and adults like you) with good ole', affordable family fun.
Margaret White, the owner, says, I just like to provide a positive experience for people.
In the past, you've accused me of playing too many video games, and while I will neither confirm nor deny that, I will say the weather is prime for a zip around the go-kart track, 18 holes of miniature golf or a little time in the batting cages.
Ms. White knows how important it is for families to spend time together - without having to spend a fortune. She says, The whole idea of a 'stay-cation' has become much more of a reality, especially with those high gas prices.
Ms. White's late husband Paul and one of his friends, Mike Dailey, started Papio Fun Park because there wasn't a lot for kids to do in Papillion like forever (or 25 years) ago. Ms. White says never in her wildest dreams did she imagine it would grow from the original miniature golf and batting cages into a full-fledged family entertainment center with a go-kart track and a laser tag arena.
Our biggest plans are just to continue to get the word out and make this a venue that people consider when times are tough, when they can't afford to go to Orlando, she says.
If we can't make it this weekend, that's okay. Papio Fun Park is open year round (weekends only from Labor Day to April 1). It's also available for private events like, you know, my birthday party. Speaking of which, I'm not going to be this young forever. There may come a time when I might not be as willing to be seen with you.
Ms. White says, We provide the ability for you to come in as a family and play some miniature golf or do the whole day thing. Those kinds of experiences are still really important. (The park's unlimited wristbands are very popular, she says. For one price, we can do as many attractions as we want.)
In conclusion and in summary, though I may or may not play too many video games, I would happily (Smiles are mandatory, says Ms. White.) put down the controller in exchange for a putter, baseball bat or laser tag vest.
If you'd like to learn more about Papio Fun Park, check out their website and this short video.
Sincerely,
(Your name)
This has been a service to Greater Omaha's youth from the Greater Omaha Chamber. White says the Chamber has helped her as well.
They give you all of these opportunities to meet people and make connections. That's what the Greater Omaha Chamber has done, whether it's a Coffee and Contacts, a Business after Hours, or an Academy class. I'm a member of the BOSS group now.
She continues, You're there to meet people. I used to say, 'I don't want to sit at a table where I know people; I want to sit at a table where I don't know people.' After a while, it's harder and harder to do that. Your electronic rolodex just grows exponentially.

Road Ready Campground Reviews, Glenn Cunningham Lake Campground, Omaha NE
Road Ready Campground Review, Glenn Cunningham Lake Campground North Omaha Nebraska. During our caravan west, we wanted to get in as much as we could, even during a short time. Omaha's Henry Dorley Zoo was high on our list, so we stopped in the Omaha area. This was a small county park on the outskirts of the city, right off I680. It was a great place as we were lakeside for this stay. We filled the tank on the way in, and really enjoyed our stay.
8305 Rainwood Road - Entrance 10
Visitors enjoy picnicking, no-wake boating, hiking, biking, nature study, and fishing. Horseback riding is also permitted on designated trails. A new addition to the park is the Neighborhood Offshore shack that provides rentals of Kayaks, Paddle boards, bikes and more. The lake has a surface area of 390 acres and has a maximum dept of 23 feet. More than 1,050 acres of park land surround the lake, including 450 acres, north of State Highway 36, designated as a wildlife area. There are 58 R.V. Pads (30amp hook-up) / Tent Camping/ Showers. The dump station is located at the exit of the campground.

The course included obstacles such as a haystack hurdle, a sandbag carry, and a lake crossing (twice!) - plus lots more. Be on the lookout for next year's race which promises to be even more fun and demanding!
