Carry at State or County Fairs?
rudy:
I ran a search and found a thread about the state fair, but it was in 2009 before the fair moved to Grand Island. Is the state fair still posted no carry in Grand Island? Also, does anyone know if the Lancaster county fair is posted no carry?
Thanks.

Don't see anything specifically listed here for it, unless of course the event is a "school event" (like nothing ever happens at schools or events where you might be attacked)...

Pretty sure last year they had a sign up with rules on it and no ccw was one of the rules listed but not 100% sure

I just called and talked to "Kelly" and she said that they do indeed prohibit concealed carry at the state fair. She had a little trouble finding any formal documentation of this policy, however. Developing...
UPDATE: She said that she would have someone call me back or email me with further information on their policy, why it was implemented, what statutory or regulatory language confers the authority to maintain such a policy, etc.
