39 CALF News • October | November 2018 • www.calfnews.net Being more central and having state-of-the-art show barns and arenas, many of them with air conditioning, has not only increased the number of exhibitors at the state fair, but has brought in national breed shows such as the National Jr. Hereford, Simmental and Chianina shows, held earlier this summer. AK-SAR-BEN, held for decades in Omaha, is now home to its exhibitors as well (it also was landlocked and unable to expand). 2018 will be the second year AK-SAR-BEN will be held at Grand Island. The location may have changed, but as with the first State Fair in 1868, Nebraska’s products, talents and people are still showcased. From 2010 to 2018, the Nebraska State Fair at Grand Island may well have seen its 3 millionth visitor enjoying some of the Nebraska good life.  TEXAS FEED FAT CO., INC. TEXAS FEED FAT CO., INC. P.O.

Who can resist a baby lamb? This is one of the few places the general public can see new lambs and hatching chicks. The Birthing Center is one of the most popular attractions at the fair. Despite persistent crowds, the room is usually quiet enough to hear a proverbial pin drop.
