A Closer Look

Held annually in Nelson, the Nuckolls County Fair celebrates a south-central Nebraska county on the Little Blue River where dryland and irrigated corn and soybean farming, alongside cattle and hog operations, sustain small communities near the Kansas border.

Planning Your Visit

Nelson sits along US-136 in south-central Nebraska. The county's Little Blue River valley supports productive agriculture and provides recreation via fishing and hunting. The surrounding communities maintain strong agricultural education traditions through 4-H and FFA programs.

Fair Highlights

Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, grain and row crop exhibits, and the community spirit of a south-central Nebraska agricultural fair.
