Join Nebraska Game and Parks and Glacial Till Vineyard for the October release party of Little Salty, a limited-edition drink that benefits Nebraska wildlife education and conservation.
The party is 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 17 at Glacial Till Cider House and Tasting Room, 1419 Silver St., Ashland, and features a salty and sweet apricot cider inspired by the endangered Salt Creek tiger beetle.
For every six-pack sold — either at the event or at locations where Glacial Till is sold — $1 goes to Game and Parks for wildlife conservation and education efforts across the state.
During the party, guests can test their nature knowledge with trivia, snap photos in the Little Salty photo booth, or participate in activities hosted by Salt Creek tiger beetle conservation partners: the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District.
The Salt Creek tiger beetle — one of the world’s rarest insects — is a federally listed endangered species. Globally, it is only found in a few saline wetlands in Lancaster County, its last remaining suitable habitat.
“We hope you grab your friends and family and come out to toast this tiny creature,” said Monica Macoubrie, Game and Parks fish and wildlife educator who spearheaded this second collaboration. “The Salt Creek tiger beetle has a huge impact on our ecosystems, and we’re excited to partner with Glacial Till to share its story.”
Little Salty follows last year’s SlowPoke cider, a first collaboration and partnership with Glacial Till Vineyards to benefit the local community and the environment.
“This collaboration aligns with our commitment to giving back,” said Craig Murman, of Glacial Till. “We love supporting Nebraska wildlife and education in a fun and engaging way, while raising awareness of Nebraska’s unique wildlife and diverse ecosystems.”
