Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Moostash Joe Tours! We hope it was full of good family, good food and some good football. (Go Big Red!) Some of the staff here was busy Thanksgiving morning. We spent our day-off from work out running around in the cold and rain at this year’s Fremont YMCA Turkey Trot. We looked less like turkeys and more like penguins all bundled up. We did return home with some hardware, however, as John Spellerberg finished first overall and Jenna Spellerberg finished first in her division in the 2-mile run, while Joey and Ashley spent some quality husband-wife time.

We certainly have a lot to be thankful for. Just this past Tuesday, November 24th, we held our Ribbon Cutting Celebration at our new office location! It was a raging success, with many Moostash Joe Tour friends coming to help christen the occasion. Those that attended heard from Fremont’s Mayor, Scott Getzschman, our President, Joey Spellerberg and saw Moostash Joe himself cut the ribbon. Our office neighbors, KHUB 1340 AM and KFMT 105.5 FM Radio were also there to document the special morning. Below is a link to their news article as well as a neat video recap of our ribbon cutting.

Moostash Monster Mash

Happy Halloween Spooky Sightseers! I hope you’re not already sick of pumpkins…candy corn…cheap spider webs…etc. It is, after all, a Nebraskan’s least favorite holiday. Why? Because we don’t necessarily get along with those wearing burnt orange… But if you happen to see the BoogeyMan this Halloween, tell him he’s not as scary as our scary-low bus tours prices!

Arrow Visits Moostash

We’d love to make your Thanksgiving/Christmas season even more special this year. I’m happy to say we have seats available on many of our upcoming bus tours from Nebraska! One of last years’ best sellers, Chicago Yuletide Spectacular, is set to be another unforgettable tour with the fantastic Broadway Show “A Christmas Carol” at the Goodman Theatre. The Windy City during Christmastime is unlike anything you’ve seen before, guaranteed!

We also are very excited about our BRAND NEW Kentucky Christmas tour! If you’ve never been to Louisville, KY before, you’re going to be in for a treat. If there was a statistic that calculated the most fun attractions within a mile radius, they’d take the “crown”.  One of our best ever bus tour for seniors. Includes three nights at the beautiful Galt House Hotel and visits to the Kentucky Derby Museum, Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville Stoneware, and Pam Tillis Dinner Show just to name a few!

But hurry, time is running out.  We’re expecting these to be filled within the next couple weeks! And, if this weekend you see someone out trick-or-treating dressed up as Moostash Joe, it’s probably him.
