Busy time of year!

Now keep in mind that the State Fair has for ever been held in Lincoln, NE, which is in the eastern part of the state.

So I had been determined that the fair would move to the middle or a more convienent location. Now it will be held at Fonner Park in Grand Island, NE. I agreed to make the block to represent our county. So far it has been a nightmare, but I will get through it. Here is what I am working with:
