The final two-days of the Lancaster County Super Fair are this weekend at the Sandhills Global Event Center.
The 10-day event began on the heels of a strong storm that rolled through Lincoln and flavored the week with recovery efforts. Fortunately, Spokesperson Gina Nathan said there wasn’t much damage aside from some flung porta-potties.
However, the beginning of the fair were accompanied by temperatures in the upper 90’s, even touching 100 degrees on Day-5 of the fair.
“It was a little bit rough there for a few days when it was really, really hot and it wasn’t quite as busy as we hoped, but people still came out, and now that the weather is cooled down, it’s been pretty hoppin’,” Nathan updated KLIN News.
The Super Fair team adapted quickly and booked some indoor live-music performers as attendees filed inside to escape the heat.
But when temperatures fell around the middle of the week on Day-7, “It was one of our busiest nights! Which was kind of interesting since it was a weekday, but it’s still summer,” Nathan said.
The fan-favorite attraction this year, according to Nathan, “…the reptile and wildlife adventure show. They brought in a sloth, a little tiny monkey, and a baby kangaroo along with all their reptiles and so many people were going to check those out because you don’t see those every day. Our pig-races right next door and the BMX stunt bikes were also very popular.”
If you missed days 1-8 of the fair… it’s not too late to rectify your lingering “FOMO.”
Tonight (Fri. Day-9) and tomorrow (Sat. Day-10), the Super Fair will host the Extreme Bull Riding Tour in the grandstand. Fair-goers wishing to attend the Saturday show and still receive a discount if purchased before the event. Gates open at 6 P.M. and the show starts at 7:30 P.M.
“…and we have live music Friday from we have the Silas Creek Band, performing modern and classic country, and Saturday night we have Lucas Minor band, performing country-rock, in the outdoor beer garden,” said Nathan.
The Super Fair is open tonight (Friday) until 10 P.M., and opening back up for the final day (Saturday) at 8 A.M. and concludes at 10 P.M.
