Nebraska State Fair launches mobile app

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — Fairgoers have a new way to interact with the Nebraska State Fair.

The fair announced Thursday that it has launched the Nebraska State Fair app on the App Store on Google Play. The app allows users to get information about events, buy tickets, check the fair schedule, get directions around the fairgrounds, check the list of vendors, find answers to frequently asked questions, contact fair staff and more.

“Each year, the team strives to provide easy-to-access and updated information to fairgoers,” Executive Director Jaime Parr said in a news release. “The mobile app increases convenience to visitors, including those who are planning to attend and those who are already on the grounds.”

The Nebraska State Fair is Aug. 25-Sept. 4 in Grand Island.
