Extension office reviews Gage County Fair participation, seeks facility upgrades
Summary
The county extension presented fair statistics (about 1,490 entries, 231 livestock exhibitors across 16 project areas) and requested consideration of infrastructure upgrades at the fairgrounds including HVAC for Egg Hall and tourism‑grant applications.
An extension educator (speaker 5) updated the board on extension programs and the recent Gage County Fair. The extension reported roughly 1,490 fair entries, more than 150 supporting businesses and 231 livestock exhibitors across 16 livestock project areas; the educator also said Grow Big Red virtual learning averaged about 56 participants per session. "So we had 231 exhibitors for the livestock across 16 livestock and animal project areas," the extension presenter reported during the update.
The extension asked the board to consider funding or grant applications for facility improvements, specifically HVAC for Egg Hall to make it more usable year‑round. Board members recommended the fair board prepare a prioritized list with dollar estimates to include in the county budget process and to consider tourism grants to help offset costs.
