We went to the Nebraska State Fair on 9/4/22, which was located at Fonner Park. I was amazed at all the work they've done. They've added benches and seating all over the fair area which is so nice, especially since I'm elderly. So many areas have been landscaped which has greatly added to the beauty of the Fair grounds. I can't say enough about how modern & well-maintained the buildings are (& air-conditioned). The restrooms were clean and unlittered, amazingly so since there was such a huge crowd of fairgoers. There are shuttles to move people through the fairgrounds who prefer not to do a lot of walking; also walkers, wheelchairs, & scooters were available for rent. I was impressed at the caliber of carnival ride operators...very clean, well-dressed, polite, and attentive to each ride. I liked how they had ropes in the parking areas, creating a more efficient way for fairgoers to get in and out of the parking areas. So many volunteers were all over the Fair and were knowledgeable about the Fair events, pleasant, helpful, and keeping the grounds picked up. Everyone I saw was having a very enjoyable experience. They had a nice, big selection of food services and long lines showed the most popular. There were wonderful, day-long free events/entertainment for families to enjoy.

Good place to have the State Fair. But feel like there needs to be more places to get drinks. Instead of going aways to get a drink and or refill.
