Open Class Horse Show Information ~ July 12 at 9am

05/30/2026

The schedule has arrived!!!! The schedule is here!!! Don't be a cheapskate, get your tickets for $40 pronto, because, let's face it, everything's going to cost more by fair time... or at least that's what I keep telling myself about food, gas, and living in general. If you're a master of procrastination, you can shell out $50 at the gate. You can grab those tickets at Bank of Dixon in Ponca, CountrySide Gas and Security Bank in Allen, Eunie's in Dixon, Concord Coffee Shoppe in Concord, Security Bank and Rath's Mini Mart in Laurel, and Miller Building Supply in Wakefield.

Join us for the 1st Annual Dixon County Fair Quilt Show
July 8–12 in Concord, Nebraska

Help us fill our beautiful new hall with your stunning works of art! Quilters of all ages and skill levels are invited to display their quilts during the Dixon County Fair.

Quilts displayed in the Quilt Show will not be judged unless you choose to also enter them in Open Class competition.

Whether your quilt is antique, traditional, modern, hand-stitched, or machine quilted, we would love to showcase your creativity and craftsmanship for the community to enjoy.

Come be part of this exciting first-year event and help us make the Quilt Show a wonderful tradition at the Dixon County Fair!

For entry information or questions, please message us.

The National Moment of Remembrance: By a congressional act, all Americans are encouraged to pause at 3:00 p.m. local time for a minute of silence to honor the fallen.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you to all who have served and fought to protect our freedoms — your courage and dedication will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

Warmer weather means it’s officially time to start thinking about your Derby cars — unless you’re one of those highly organized people who already had yours halfway built during the winter months! Can't wait to see you at the Fair!
