About Hooker County Fair
The Hooker County Fair in Mullen celebrates a Nebraska Sandhills county where cattle ranching on native grass is the primary occupation and the annual fair in the tiny county seat brings together ranching families from across a vast, sparsely populated landscape of grass-covered dunes.
What to Expect
Expect a small Sandhills fair with livestock exhibits, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, and the authentic ranching community spirit of one of the Great Plains' most remote counties.
Visitor Tips
Mullen is accessible via US-83 in the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills. The Sandhills' native grass ecosystem supports one of the Great Plains' most intact wildlife communities, with mule deer, pronghorn, and prairie birds thriving alongside cattle. The Middle Loup River headwaters near Mullen provide good fishing.
