The numbers are in and it looks as though the Nebraska State Fair is staying strong with about the same number of people for the fair's first three days, compared to the first three days of the fair in 2011.

Fair officials estimate 94,776 people have attended the fair so far at Fonner Park in Grand Island this year.

Last year's fair totals reached about 330,000 people.

The 11–day fair ends on Labor Day.
