The 2025 Lancaster County Super Fair was held July 31–Aug. 9 at the Sandhills Global Event Center. The fair is an opportunity for 4‑H & FFA youth to showcase projects and skills they’ve worked on throughout the year. 4‑H fair experiences help youth become “beyond ready” for their life and career. At this year’s Super Fair, 549 4‑H & FFA exhibitors entered 4,765 exhibits (including static exhibits, Clover Kids, animals and contest entries). Lancaster County 4‑H thanks all the volunteers and sponsors who make 4‑H youth learning experiences possible!

The Super Fair features the largest county 4‑H static exhibit display in Nebraska. This year, 374 4‑H’ers entered 2,446 static exhibits. On judging day, youth can talk to judges about their projects.

Clover Kids are 4‑H’ers ages 5–7. This age group participates non-competitively in static exhibits, Show & Tell, animal showmanship and Fashion Show modeling.

The 4‑H Table Setting contest is a fun way to learn how to set a table, plan a menu with healthy foods and give a short presentation to a judge.

4‑H & FFA livestock shows are a vital part of Nebraska’s agriculture industry, helping grow the next generation of livestock producers.

Lancaster County has the largest 4‑H county fair horse show in the state, with 41 events spanning 5 days. Horses are an important part of Nebraska’s agriculture industry.

4‑H small animal shows, such as poultry, rabbits, cats, dogs and household pets, are an opportunity for urban and rural youth to experience raising and showing animals.
