Nebraska State Fair
From exciting concerts to thrilling demolition derbies, puzzle contests to bee competitions, the Nebraska State Fair has something for everyone. While enjoying the sights and sounds of the Nebraska State Fair, fairgoers also have multiple ways to engage with dairy! While strolling down the rows in the Dairy Barn learning about dairy cattle breeds, fairgoers also engage with Undeniably Dairy to learn how dairy farmers take great care of their cows and the planet. They can also enjoy milking demonstrations, learning how their favorite dairy foods come to be, and during Nebraska’s Largest Classroom, students and educators enjoy learning more about dairy.
