MADISON, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska tourism group is seeking a bird’s-eye view to promote a local county fair.

The local visitors’ bureau has contracted with a drone company to fly over the Madison County Fair. The drones will shoot footage for the Norfolk Area Visitors Bureau, which will post the videos on its website.

Kim Kwapnioski, the bureau’s director, says drone footage marks the next step for a website that offers virtual tours, pictures and videos of the region.

Kwapnioski says the bureau wants to extend the drone technology to places like Cowboy Trail and AquaVenture water park so viewers get a complete sense of Norfolk’s attractions.
