After months of uncertainty, a groundbreaking for the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island is planned.
The Nebraska State Fair Board, State Fair Coalition, and Fonner Park Board of Directors will host the ceremony for the new state fair grounds at Fonner Park.
Local, state and Fair dignitaries--including Governor Dave Heineman--are expected to be in attendance.
The Budweiser Clydesdales will also make an appearance.
The Nebraska State Fair will move to Grand Island in 2010.
The 2009 Nebraska State Fair opens in Lincoln, on August 28 at 5:00p.m. and runs through Labor Day.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO TO THE GROUNDBREAKING:
WHEN: Thursday, July 9, 2009, 2:00 p.m.
WHERE: Grand Island, NE, Fonner Park, west of the Heartland Events Center
The ceremony is open to the public.

Bob-May I also recommend visiting Pioneer Village in Minden, not too far of a drive from G.I. :)

State Fair will be in GI no more than 5 years, then it'll come back to Lincoln. Meanwhile the University got what it wanted, the land!

I plan to take my family to GI. We will spend the night and go out to Kearny to Cabela's and that thing over the Interstate. May even go to thr Stuhr. Not Europe but Lincoln doesn't seem to want to do much.
