Nebraska State Fair
If you are planning to attend the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island this year make sure you check the schedule. There have been a few changes and I’d hate to have you go the wrong weekend and miss your favorite events.
One major change is the State Fair 4-H Dog Show – which now will be held in Lincoln and it is now called the State 4-H Dog Show. It was announced due to facility changes at Fonner Park, the 2019 State 4-H Dog Show will be held on Saturday, September 7th at the Animal Science Complex on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln East Campus.
