Nuckolls County Fair- Nelson, NE
We had a very scenic drive to Nelson on Tuesday afternoon on Hwy. 77 and Hwy. 136. It was felt great to be out of the city and off the interstate! We stopped for gas at Casey's in Beatrice and enjoyed the windy Highway 136 to Nelson.
When we got to the fairgrounds we were greeted with a 4-H flag flying high and clovers painted on the road, leading us to the entry gate! The Nuckolls County fair grounds were very nice with well maintained buildings and plenty of friendly folks!
We set up shop between two concession stands and caught the rodeo crowd. Unfortunately our tent broke but there was a well placed shade tree that provided us with some relief in the 95 degree weather! Hopefully we get it fixed soon!
We headed back to Lincoln for the night and decided to take a short cut through Henderson to the interstate from Highway 6... when they say via county road, they mean it! We took a gravel road that came to a T in the middle of some daunting corn fields... luckily it just jogged a little and we ended up back on a paved road! It was an adventurous few miles that's for sure!
The interstate was a lot less eventful and before we knew it we were pulling into the parking garage after another successful evening on the road! Thanks Nuckolls County!
