Today we drove a short distance west to spend a couple of nights near Grand Island, NE. We will spend the next four days working our way up to Rapid City, SD. We are staying at a small campground behind a little motel in Wood River, NE just outside of Grand Island. I didn’t realize it at the time I made the reservations, but the Nebraska State Fair is in Grand Island this week, so the campgrounds in Grand Island were all booked up.
After we got set up, we drove over to spend the afternoon at the fair. We pigged out on corn dogs and Italian sausages, then checked out the exhibits. We saw chickens, sheep, cows, and even alpacas. There were some longhorn steers in the arena showing off their horns, and we saw some newborn lambs, a calf, and some baby chicks that had all arrived that day.
We then walked the fairway to check out the rides, and Sam and Jim rode the bumper cars to finish up the day.
