On the arena side, there are two on the main concourse, one near Guest Services and the other near the Lexus Club. On the convention center side, there is one in the Grand Hallway and another upstairs, on the second floor. There are no fees to use these machines and any monetary balance left on the card maybe used any place that accepts Visa.

Guests who arrive without a face mask may be supplied one on site.*

Small, clutch-sized bags measuring 4.5x6.5 may also be allowed into the arena after a security inspection. Exceptions will be made for bags of medical necessity.
Oversized bags or purses are not permitted and must be returned to a vehicle or discarded before entry. See our FAQ here: http://chihealthcenteromaha.com/arena/safety-clear-bag-policies/.

Valentine High School students would LOVE for you to come share your knowledge, hobbies, and talents at our annual Victor E. Days, which will be held on April 19th and 20th. We want you to share your talents by hosting your own workshop for our students from 8 am to 3:30 pm. Sessions can be as short as an hour or as long as an entire day. Other options include 90 minutes, 2 hours, or 4 hours.
The list of possibilities is endless, but examples could include: taxidermy, candle making, flower arranging, crocheting, changing a tire, jerky making, leather work, scrapbooking, beekeeping, financial planning, sign language, changing oil, self-defense, or baking/cooking (to name a few).
Students will then choose which workshops they want to attend, and we would like 75+ different options. Our students really enjoy this event and we are hoping to increase workshop selections for our students this year.
Please contact Jennie Manning at (402) 376-1780 or jmanning@vcsbadger.net or Jamie Seipel, jseipel@vcsbadger.net for more information or to sign up.
