Gage County Fair Starts Wednesday

Gage County fair officials and volunteers spent the weekend preparing for this year’s Gage County Fair and Expo that starts this Wednesday.

Fair manager Tammy Zarybnicky says everything is looking good for the start of the five day event. She says "Things are coming together nicely. We have the vendor guys coming in and the curtain guys coming in. Everything out on the fairgrounds is looking really nice".

The fair will run this Wednesday thru Sunday featuring a rodeo, a tractor pull, a concert and stock car racing.

Zarybnicky says there are still a few booth spaces available for this year’s fair.

"We have some of the vendors who like to come back year after year and we also have some new ones. And we have some of those people who like to wait until the last minute. and swing by to see if we have any openings......which we do. So if anybody is still interested stop by the fair office and we will see if we can get you worked in."

The annual Beatrice Area Chamber of Commerce Ag Appreciation BBQ will take place Tuesday night along with a classic car show to help kick-off the week of activities.
