Nebraska Cattlemen Beef Pit Serves 12,000 Nebraska State Fair Goers
By Lee Weide
The Nebraska Cattlemen Beef Pit, a Nebraska State Fair tradition for 23 years, had another successful year serving great-tasting Certified Angus Beef® prime rib, roast beef and BBQ brisket meals to fairgoers. This year’s Beef Pit served nearly 1,000 more meals than in 2005, with the final tally nearing 12,000 meals during the 11-day event.
The Nebraska Cattlemen Beef Pit appreciates the following organizations and businesses for donating time and/or supplies to make this year’s Beef Pit a success: Certified Angus Beef, Pegler-Sysco Food Service Company, Lincoln; Cargill Meat Solutions, Schuyler; Nebraska Beef Council; Nebraska Corn Growers Association; Skeeter Barnes Restaurant, Lincoln; Daryl Griepenstroh with Bar B Q Cooking, Nebraska City; Plains Power and Equipment, Crete; and Crete Lumber & Farm Supply, Crete.
The Beef Pit could not operate without the help of many volunteers. The NC Beef Pit Committee puts in many hours in organizing and planning to make the event run flawlessly.The NC Beef Pit Committee appreciates the nearly 250 Nebraska Cattlemen members and beef industry partners from across the state (see below) who volunteer their time to come to Lincoln and help prepare and serve meals and promote our great product. Lee Weide is NC’s vice president of Operations.
