Every county fair was eligible to participate in this dollar-matching program to "paint up . . . clean up . . . fix up." For many years, Ak-Sar-Ben has contributed to every county of the state for much-needed improvement of fair buildings and grounds. In the past seven years alone, this contribution has amounted to more than $300,000 on a dollar-matching basis. To reward and encourage young farm folk, Ak-Sar-Ben appropriates $25,000 each year to special premiums for 4-H and FFA exhibitors at county fairs, plus thousands more for open classes. All this is in addition to the license fees and admission taxes collected at Ak-Sar-Ben race meets, which bring many more thousands of dollars every year to the state s county fairs. Yesterday . . . today . . . tomorrow Nebraska's ' county fairs are better because of the Ak-Sar-Ben programs made possible solely by the revenues from thoroughbred racing.
