Plans for Nebraska cattle show scrapped because of pandemic

Plans for a major cattle show in Grand Island, Nebraska in January have been scrapped because of coronavirus concerns.

The NebraskaN Livestock show was proposed as an alternative to the National Western Stock Show in Denver, which was cancelled in September. 

Officials with the Nebraska State Fair and Grand Island Chamber of Commerce, who have been working to put the show together, say because of the virus’ resurgence and recent COVID-19 guidelines enacted in Nebraska and other states, “the logistics of putting on a quality event is no longer possible”.
