Greeley County, Nebraska 4-Her Gavin Dozler preps his calf for showing at the Nebraska State Fair.
A slimmed-down version Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island is underway in Grand Island.
Youth and open livestock shows are being held, the Raising Nebraska building is open, and there are many outdoor commercial exhibits and food vendors. However, there is no carnival or big-name entertainment this year.
At the opening ceremony on Saturday, Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts thanked the fair board for proceeding with the fair even though several other Midwestern states cancelled theirs. Ricketts told Brownfield the fair is an important showcase for Nebraska agriculture.
