We’re excited to celebrate the 151th year of Nebraska’s Longest Running County Fair! Plan to bring the whole family to the fairgrounds.

This year’s fair again promises to thrill the children, entertain the adults and feed the masses! Every year our fair gets better and better. We are proud to showcase several acts this year that will be sure to please fairgoers…both young and old. This is the perfect place for family entertainment!
