Reba Lee, and her husband, Jeremy, are turning the former Harvey County Independent building, located at 220 Main Street, into an event center for the community to rent out. The Lees originally bought the building, intending it to be an office for Jeremy Lee, but after trying to host a birthday party for their children, they realized the town was missing an event center for community members to host parties. “I said, ‘Hey we just bought this building; let’s just have the kids’ birthday party up there,’” Reba Lee said. She said this led to the idea of using the space to rent out as an event center. The couple wants the building to be an alternative for community members hosting events they feel would be too crowded in their homes. Reba Lee owns a pop-up consignment shop that she currently hosts in Maize. She hopes to hold pop-up events in Halstead once the building is open for events. They hope to have it open by January.
