The Custer County Agricultural Society was formed in 1880 with the goal of promoting agricultural activities in the county and today continues to be a viable part of county activities. The Ag Society works with the University of Nebraska Extension service to promote many different programs and also works with the 4-H programs of the county. An additional responsibility is the conduct and operation of the annual Custer County Fair and to provide for the upkeep of the Fairgrounds. Today many additional activities - CHAN Cutting, Sandhills Slide, Team Roping, carnivals, circus events, sales, wedding receptions - continue to be held at the Fairgrounds as a service to the community.
