Dakota County Fairgrounds is the county fairground for Dakota County, at 1547 Stable Dr in South Sioux City. It is generally known locally as Dakota-Thurston County Fairgrounds. Like most Nebraska fairgrounds it is owned by the county agricultural society and is in use well beyond fair week — rodeos, horse shows, tractor pulls, sales and community events. The 4-H side of the county fair is run by Nebraska Extension in Dakota County, which handles entries, livestock identification and the certification a young person needs before showing an animal.
