The Lancaster County Agricultural Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit of publicly elected board of passionate volunteers who run the Lancaster Event Center (LEC) Fairgrounds and Lancaster County’s Super Fair. Their mission is to share experiences in a unique venue that showcases the agricultural nature of Lancaster County and to contribute greatly to the county’s youth, culture, and economy.
The facility provides a safe and fun environment for families all year long and drives substantial economic impact on Lancaster County and the area that surrounds it, including offering a home to over 20 local community groups to carry out their own missions through events.
Wrapping up it’s 20th year anniversary in 2021, LEC Fairgrounds looks toward the future by focusing its efforts on existing and new ways to serve more local groups to enable more of the community to let the good times grow.
Community Programs to Support
- NEW Send- a-Kid-to-the-Fair Experience: Provides free tickets and transportation for underserved people to attend all three motorsports and carnival, behind-the-scenes tour of ag education displays and animals. $25 provides tickets for 1 kid and their parents/supervisor.
- NEW Fairgrounds Non-Profit Rental Grants: Enables local nonprofit and youth groups to hold their own event at the fairgrounds, free of charge. $1,000 funds a day-long event – you may designate the group if you prefer or we'll help find a deserving group.
- Adopt-a-Volunteer Fund: Support TWO non-profits with ONE donation–you'll help your always busy, non-profit fairgrounds find much-needed help while raising money for local nonprofits and youth groups willing to work as a fundraiser. $100 supports 1 volunteer to work a full day–goes entirely to the nonprofit they're "working" for.
- Fairgrounds Work Force Re-Entry Program: Support our service to Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, and others needing to fulfill community service hours. You get to help these community members aquire valuable skills and experiences to stay gainfully employed after their court-mandated service. $800 supports one-day cost for an 8-person work crew for lunch and supervision.
