GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island will be adding some new attractions this year.

The new attractions include a tree house and fort structure for children on the outdoor section of the main pavilion at the Nebraska Building.

Nebraska State Fair 1868 Foundation director Lindsey Koepke says the foundation has raised more than 60 percent of the more than $900,000 needed for the new open air horse arena. The fully renovated 60,000-square-foot outdoor arena will replace the current outdoor arena just west of Thompson Arena. It will feature quality holding pens and professional bucking and roping chutes for use in rodeos and horse shows.

This year’s State Fair is scheduled to run from Aug. 26 through Sept. 5.
