Fonner Park is home to the Nebraska State Fair. I have been a participant for several years and I can and will say, this is one of the most organized events I have had the pleasure of attending. Everyone works to make sure your visit, participation, or vending experience is TOP NOTCH. I could share a lot of stories of the fair but thats for another time. Go out and experience it for yourself!
