WELCOME TO COZAD
Welcome to Cozad. I am pleased that you picked up the Cozad Nebraska 2023 Visitor Guide. I was born in Cozad, attended Co- zad Community Schools and graduated as a Cozad Haymaker. My career moved me around the United States for 15 years and I chose to move back here and raise my family. Cozad is a great example of small-town life. I know my neighbors, I celebrate and mourn with them. Neighbors soon become family and when a family is in need this community steps up to help. While our main industry is based in agriculture, not everyone has livestock or raises corn here, but that
farm and ranch work ethic is had by all. I hope you choose to spend some time looking through this guide and visiting Cozad. I promise you will be impressed. If I can be of any help, please reach out.
