Box Butte County Fair

I spent last weekend at the Box Butte County Fair in Hemingford, Nebraska. Friday night; I watched the truck and tractor pull. This was not my first truck and tractor pull, but one thing I learned is the individuals who competed take pride in their tractors and trucks more than anyone else I have met. Saturday I enjoyed the fair parade and participated in a golf run. Saturday night; I attended the Love and Theft concert. The band know show to put on a good show and keep the crowd in high spirits all night! Sunday afternoon was the demo derby; it was a good time to see cars chase each other around in a pit of mud. All the events were fun, however the best part was all the people. The citizens of Box Butte County know how to make you feel as if you are family.

If you didn’t make it to the Box Butte County Fair this year, I hope you plan to make a trip next year. I know I will be back.

General George A. Crook House

General George A. Crook was the commander for the Department of the Platte back in the 1870’s and 1880’s. The headquarters for the department were moved to Fort Omaha in 1878. Crook lived in a brick structure with Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant on the fort that was finished in November of 1879.

Fort Omaha and the brick structure which is now called the “Crook House” still exist today. The Crook House is listed on the Register of Historic Places and the Fort Omaha buildings are now home to Metro Community College.

Fort Omaha and the Crook House are located at 5700 N. 30th Street in Omaha, Nebraska. Visiting the fort is a history learning experience; both children and adults will appreciate.
