I ❤️ COZAD. BECAUSE WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER.
Caring for a community means showing up for people through every stage of life. From helping our youngest residents grow healthy and strong to providing comfort, support, and compassionate care for our older generations, every act of care matters.
We’re fortunate to have people and places right here in Cozad dedicated to helping our neighbors live well, feel supported, and find connection close to home.
That’s what makes a community more than just a place to live. It makes it a place to belong. ❤️

I ❤️ COZAD. BECAUSE WE HAVE CARE CLOSE TO HOME.
From hospital care and routine checkups to dental visits, eye care, chiropractic services, and support for our overall wellness, having access to so many healthcare services right here in our community makes a difference.
Whether it’s caring for us when we’re sick, helping us stay healthy, or being there when we need medical attention, we’re grateful for the dedicated healthcare professionals who look after our families, friends, and neighbors.
Having quality care close to home is something worth loving about Cozad! ❤️
This is why we believe in local ideas.
Eight years ago, Rivet Design & Co. was one embroidery machine in a spare bedroom. Through Cozad Development’s Pitch It competition, that idea got the opportunity to take root right here in Cozad.
This month, Rivet Design is celebrating eight years in business. It’s exciting to look back and see how far a local idea can go when someone is willing to take a chance and a community is willing to believe in it.
Congratulations to Rivet Design Co. on eight incredible years! We’re proud to celebrate this success story and the entrepreneurs who continue to make Cozad a place where ideas can grow and businesses can thrive.
This is what economic development looks like. ❤️

As we recognize Farm Safety Week, we’re also welcoming harvest season and wishing all those working in the fields a safe and successful harvest.
Harvest brings long days, busy fields and plenty of equipment on the move.
It’s a good reminder that safety needs to be a priority every day for all of us.
Let’s all do our part to make safety a priority this harvest season.
A safe harvest is a successful harvest.

I ❤️Cozad. Because People Come Together.
Behind every community event, youth activity, fundraiser, celebration and project, there are people willing to give their time.
They organize.
They volunteer.
They raise money.
They serve meals.
They cheer on kids.
They lend a hand when someone needs it.
They see something that could make Cozad better and say, “How can we help?”
Our community is stronger because of the organizations and groups that bring people together and the volunteers who make their work possible.
There are a lot of people working behind the scenes to make Cozad a great place to live.
And that's something worth loving. ❤️

This is the season for getting outside, checking things off the to-do list and enjoying everything our community has to offer.
Take a walk. Shop local. Enjoy a meal downtown. Visit a local event. Finish that project you've been putting off.
And while you're enjoying the season, it's also a great time to start preparing for winter, whether that's getting your home ready, taking care of your business property or making plans for those projects you've been thinking about.
There’s plenty to enjoy about fall in Cozad, and plenty to look forward to in the seasons ahead.
Happy first day of fall!

I ❤️ Cozad. Because of the People.
The people who wave when they drive by.
The neighbors who check in.
The teachers who know your kids.
The coaches who stay late.
The volunteers who give their time.
The business owners who know their customers.
The people who show up, lend a hand and make Cozad feel like home.
A community is more than a place on a map. It’s the people who make it a place you want to be.

What makes a community worth loving?
Maybe it's the person who always knows your name. Maybe it's the business owner who took a chance and opened a storefront downtown. Maybe it's a teacher who goes the extra mile. Maybe it's a ballgame on a Friday night, a meal with friends, a walk in the park or simply knowing that the things you need are close to home. Or maybe it's all of it.
Over the next several weeks, we're taking a closer look at why we ❤️ Cozad.
And we think there are a lot of good reasons.

Hay Days is more than a weekend of events. It’s neighbors coming together, businesses opening their doors, families making memories, volunteers giving their time and our community showing up.
