Handmade Nebraska Product, Ogallala Bay Rum, featured in Parade

Ogallala Bay Rum started when John Marquis (a long-time Bay Rum fan) found it increasingly difficult to find bay rum that had the scent he remembered as a kid going to the barbershop. After receiving what was reported to be among the best bay rums for Christmas 2005, and becoming disappointed in the scent after opening the bottle, it became clear there was a need for a bay rum on the market that had the familiar scent of yesteryear. What started as a company with one product in early 2006 has turned into a company with a variety of products.

GROW Nebraska member, Ogallala Bay Rum, was recently featured in Parade's article Made in America: Gifts From Each of the 50 States. 

This holiday season, Parade has compiled unique gifts from every state to celebrate the artisans in our local communities. Continue the article here to see the top picks from each of the 50 states.

That refreshing scent from yesteryear is back with the largest selection of Bay Rum fragrance products you'll find anywhere! You can shop for Ogallala Bay Rum products in GROW Nebraska stores at the Conestoga Mall in Grand Island, or at the Hilltop Mall in Kearney. You can also shop online 24/7 at BuyNebraska.com!

College Trip to Peru Sparks World-Changing Nebraska Soap Business

Six years ago, Andrew Vrbas was a budget-strapped college student making soap in his college apartment. He had an idea for a business that would help change the lives of people around the world.
