IMPERIAL, Neb. (Aug. 13, 2025) — The Chase County Fair in Imperial is hitting its stride this week with a packed schedule of family events, concerts, and traditional fair favorites running through Saturday night.
Jacob Burke, a member of the Chase County Fair Board, said Wednesday marked the week’s first “big day,” featuring family-oriented attractions like turtle races, a climbing wall sponsored by the Imperial Community Foundation, a homemade pie and ice cream social, and the opening of the carnival.
Thursday’s schedule includes the 4-H and FFA livestock sale — moved up from Friday for the first time — beginning at 5:30 p.m., followed by a new Hispanic concert at 8 p.m. Gates open at 7 p.m., and tickets are available online or at the fairgrounds.
The grandstand concerts kick off Friday with Ty Myers, Redferrin, and Anna Lucia, along with DJ Grant Fisher performing before and after the shows. Saturday’s entertainment will feature Hudson Westbrook, currently holding a Top 20 national hit, with Ned LeDoux opening.
Carnival rides run daily, with unlimited ride passes available. Other highlights include a parade Saturday morning, a car and motorcycle show, cornhole tournament, bingo, and free family shows throughout the fairgrounds.
Burke credited the fair’s 160 sponsors and a volunteer board for making the event possible each year. “We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without our sponsors and volunteers,” he said.
