Today we paid a visit to the last day of the Nebraska State Fair in Lincoln. Unlike the North Carolina State Fair, this is somewhat smaller, mainly because most of the competitions are for youth, through their 4-H organizations.

The highlight for me was the demolition derby. We never made it to any of the NC State Fair ones, but I’ve enjoyed one at the Ohio State Fair, and Dave had seen both Ohio’s and Delaware’s. It won’t be long before we can make the circuit!It was in the low 90s, but we still enjoyed just enough animals, food, a tractor parade, demolition derby, games, and rides to call it a day at about 4pm.


We took our times driving back to Bellevue, taking U.S. Route 6 instead of I-80, and hoping to run into some BNSF Trains. We only saw this one on the trip back.
