LINCOLN— Nebraska leaders and several major Nebraska companies are preparing a pavilion for the “Great American State Fair” on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as part of the nation’s 250th birthday celebration. Gov. Jim Pillen said the exhibit will showcase Nebraska’s culture, history, agriculture, innovation, and businesses, with participation from organizations including Union Pacific, Werner Enterprises, Tenaska, Valmont Industries, the Nebraska Public Power District, and the Nebraska State Fair.

The exhibit will highlight Nebraska’s agricultural heritage, public power system, major industries, and historical figures such as Chief Standing Bear, as well as the origins of Arbor Day. State officials hope the event will promote Nebraska to visitors from across the country while celebrating the state's contributions to American history and culture.
