GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska State Fair officials are working on a plan to book a bigger musical act for a large, outdoor concert for next year.

The State Fair Board met for a retreat last week. Executive Director Joseph McDermott says fair officials have noticed some county fairs are bringing in well-known performers that are as big or bigger than the ones at the state fair.

McDermott says fair officials are considering moving one concert to the south end of the Fonner Park track. He says the Heartland Events Center is not big enough to bring in bigger-name acts. The events center has a capacity of 5,300 people.

An engineer and production manager have examined the park and say it could fit 10,000 people.
