Thank you for your gracious invitation to the Nebraska State Fair Board to present our viewpoint relating to the University of Nebraska plans to relocate our state fair operations to another location. We find, however, that at this particular time we will not be able to accept your offer. It is not because there isn't a story to tell, but at this specific time a lot of it is still being determined. The Agriculture Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is in the middle of a study on determining the costs of both a potential relocation and leaving the fair at its current location. State Senator Phil Erdman, chairman of the Agriculture Committee, made a specific request for all parties to refrain from moving their own agendas forward during the study period. Perhaps more importantly, after the scheduled completion of the study on Nov. 15, the state fair board and all other parties will have a great deal of new information to consider. After the study is complete and the new information is reviewed, we would love to have another opportunity to present our position.

Sincerely,

Tam Allan
Vice-Chairman
Nebraska State Fair Board
