It"s not a done deal, yet. Grand Island has to come up with some cash for the move; I believe they"re having a bit of trouble doing it. There"s also a petition drive to put the question on the ballot.
The property itself suffers from some "deferred maintenance" issues. And let"s face it-it"s some prime real estate that is used for only a fraction of the year. The fair itself is nowhere near the event it was in my youth (which, admittedly, was a quarter of a century ago). For my ag "fix", I go to Husker Harvest Days.
Wife and I do take the kids, and have been regulars at the fair for the time we"ve been together (approaching 20 years) even when we lived outstate (we"re in town now) but if it"s moved to Grand Island, we will not attend.
I believe the plan is to co-locate it with Fonner Park.
If the move does go through, I predict the fair will be gone within 5 years. I don"t particularly want it to go away, but I (just about along with everyone else except the bigwigs) see the move to Grand Island as the death knell for the fair.
