The Burt County Fair Foundation Fundraiser was held Saturday evening, February 28 in Tekamah. It was well attended by a wonderful group of supporters from across the county.

The evening was made up of a delicious meal, silent and live auctions, entertainment by comedian and ventriloquist Wayne Francis and a dance with Bill Skinner providing the music.

The fundraiser was a huge success again…the best yet, thanks to the continued generous support of the bidders, buyers and all the donors.

During the event the Fair Foundation announced plans for their next big fundraising effort. They are planning a new building on the fairgrounds which will replace the current Ag Hall for open class exhibits and vendor booths.  The dates of the 2015 Burt County Fair are August 7-11 in Oakland.
