About

Still frontier country, still worth the drive.

Pickin' the Panhandle. Miles of junk. Tons of fun.

Panhandle counties, hundreds of vendors, one wide-open weekend.
About the Event

A three-day treasure hunt across still-frontier country.

Inspired by Nebraska's renowned Junk Jaunt®, Frontier Finds is a road-trip weekend that spans the Nebraska Panhandle. From Kimball to Harrison, Sidney to Alliance, and every town in between, visitors uncover antiques, garage sales, handmade goods, food vendors, and the charm of small-town life set against wide-open prairie.

Built on the success of Highway 20 Frontier Finds (2025), the event now encompasses 11 counties throughout the Panhandle, still considered frontier country, brimming with history and outdoor recreation.

Why we do it

Our mission, in plain words.

Mission

Panhandle Frontier Finds connects communities across Nebraska's eleven-county Panhandle by fostering collaborative shopping experiences that showcase local businesses, strengthen tourism, inspire regional pride, and provide exceptional customer experiences.

Vision

To become a sustainable premier regional destination event that strengthens local economies, celebrates rural communities, and inspires people to explore the unique culture and character of the Nebraska Panhandle.

Core values
Collaborative

Eleven counties, one weekend. Towns plan together instead of competing.

Community-Focused

Every dollar spent on the trail stays close to the people who live here.

Vendor Support & Growth

First-time sellers get signage, coaching and traffic they couldn't buy alone.

Respectful

Of private property, small-town pace, and the volunteers who make it happen.

Inclusive

Barns, garages, storefronts and church basements all belong on the map.

Appreciative of Local Uniqueness

No two stops look alike, and that's exactly the draw.

Exceptional Customer Experience

Clear maps, honest hours, friendly faces, and an easy drive between stops.

Our Board

Regional voices, one Panhandle.

PFF is guided by a volunteer board representing the Northern, Central and Southern tiers, plus at-large members.
