About Keith County Fair
The Keith County Fair in Ogallala celebrates the "Queen of the Cowtowns" on the South Platte River — Ogallala was one of the great cattle shipping points of the Texas Longhorn era, and today Lake McConaughy (Nebraska's largest reservoir) makes Keith County a major recreation destination alongside its agricultural traditions of corn, irrigation farming, and cattle ranching.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, corn and irrigation crop exhibits, local food vendors, carnival rides, and a fair drawing from the greater Ogallala area and Keith County's farming families.
Visitor Tips
Lake McConaughy ("Big Mac") is Nebraska's largest reservoir and a major destination for boating, fishing, camping, and white sand beaches. Ogallala's Boot Hill Cemetery and Front Street recreate the Texas Longhorn cattle drive era, and the county's extensive center-pivot irrigation supports high-yield corn production.
