Logan County Chamber Unveils January Events Calendar Including Hospice Auction

The Logan County Chamber has published its January events calendar, spotlighting the Annual Hospice of the Plains - A Hometown Hospice Benefit and Live Auction scheduled for January 31 at the Mitchek Event Center in Sterling. The calendar, current as of Jan. 20, 2026, also lists the ECCLPS / NJC Early Childhood Education conference set for late January and the monthly History Café at the Overland Trail Museum, along with a range of civic, senior, and business gatherings.

The chamber’s public-facing calendar provides times, locations and organizer contact information and is updated regularly to reflect new listings and last-minute changes. Individual event pages on the calendar include reservation and ticketing contact details so residents can secure seats, purchase tickets or register directly with event organizers.

The Hospice of the Plains benefit is the calendar’s marquee charitable event for January. Fundraisers and live auctions traditionally contribute to nonprofit operating budgets, helping underwrite patient care and bereavement support in rural counties. For Logan County, the benefit presents an opportunity to concentrate philanthropic activity at the end of the month and to draw attendees to Sterling, which may translate into increased patronage at nearby restaurants and service businesses on the night of the event.

The ECCLPS / NJC Early Childhood Education conference, listed for late January, brings educators and early childhood specialists into the county for workshops and networking. Conferences of this type can have a twofold effect: they deliver professional development for local teachers and generate modest short-term demand for lodging, dining and meeting services. The History Café at the Overland Trail Museum and recurring civic and senior meetings reflect the calendar’s blend of cultural programming and practical community services.

For residents and local businesses, the chamber calendar acts as a central planning tool. Organizers are encouraged to keep listings up to date to ensure accurate times and ticketing instructions. Businesses that serve visitors - from cafes to caterers and bed-and-breakfasts - can monitor the calendar for opportunities to align staffing and promotions with peak activity days like the hospice auction.

Looking ahead, the chamber’s ongoing updates mean readers should check the calendar frequently as January progresses for any schedule changes and to register for events that require advance tickets. For Logan County, the month’s lineup bundles community support, professional development and cultural offerings into a compact slate that benefits nonprofits, civic groups and the local economy alike.
