About Us:

The Willow Tree Festival is named for a real Willow Tree that still lives on the banks of Antelope Creek near the Sheridan County Fair Grounds in Gordon, Nebraska. The Lone Willow was for many years a meeting place for all of the early residents of the area including cowboys, settlers, fur traders and Native Americans. It is in this spirit of "A Place to Meet" that we invite you and your family to meet us at the Willow Tree Festival on the banks of Antelope Creek at Winship Park in Gordon.
