Did you know we are the only state fair in the country to offer free Case combine rides on a brand new (straight from the factory) machine?! These machines, used to harvest crops across the world, are built right here in Grand Island and are available to ride in at the Fair - find them on Cowboy Way beginning at 10am daily. #NothingMoreNebraskan #CombineRides #nestatefair2025 | Nebraska State Fair
