  • Hello, This Is Stephanie and This Is Talk Tales and Trivia, the Show Where I Talk About Pop Culture and Trivia
    Hello, this is Stephanie and this is talk tales and trivia, the show where I talk about pop culture and trivia. Listen here, I'm a mad researcher on pop culture and trivia and I love to give all that information to you so that you can stump your friends. It is so much fun. Listen on today's episode I am talking about the local fair. You remember the local fair when you were a child, perhaps maybe there was a local fair in your community as there is all over the world and all over this country and I want to tell you a little more about it starting right now. Well, some people say the fair is the pinnacle of their spring and summer outings and their family outings and what they do with their friends and family on perhaps a weekday night or a weekend night when there is not much going on. But let me tell you something where I grew up the fair or the local fair or the carnival was a wonderful thing to have and to do because I grew up in a neighborhood where there wasn't a lot to do, but let me start with a little history on the local fair or carnival as it's sometimes called. Well, a local fair or carnival is traveling entertainment with sideshows rides and especially one that visits places at the same time each year. Well, it's true. Every spring we would have the same fair going on. It's an event including amusement rides and sales of goods, especially for charity, a bizarre and great food, which we'll talk about a little later on.

Habitat Assessment for Nebraska’s At-risk Species: Descriptions of Species Models used in the CHAT (Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool) Species of Concern Data Layer Rachel Simpson and Rick Schneider Nebraska Natural Heritage Program, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Lincoln, NE August 2014 Introduction As part of an effort across the western U.S. states led by the Western Governors’ Association, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission synthesized information related to habitat for at-risk native species and natural plant communities. The result, submitted to the WGA in the fall of 2013, is coarse- scale, landscape-level information that can be used by anyone for land-use planning. The product of this west-wide collaboration is called the Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool (CHAT). The information, provided through an online GIS-mapping tool, is non-regulatory and gives project planners and the general public access to credible scientific data on a broad scale for use in project analysis, siting, and planning.

  • Fact Sheet, Proposed Expansion of the Rainwater Basin Wetland
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Proposed Expansion of the Rainwater Basin Wetland Management District Conserving the Rainwater Basin The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Ser- vice) is proposing to expand protection of the Rainwater Basin in southeastern Nebraska. This unique and highly di- verse area is internationally known for its spectacular bird migrations. The Rainwater Basin Wetland Manage- ment District (district) was established in 1963 with a goal of acquiring 24,000 acres to support large bird concentra- tions along the central flyway, especially during spring migration. At that time, the landscape was quite different than it is today, and the conversion of the area’s wetlands occurred more rapidly than anticipated. During the nearly 50 years since the district was established, irrigation technology has changed the landscape from diverse croplands, small fields, pastures, and wetlands to inten- sively farmed corn and soybean fields. A waterfowl production area in the late spring Many of the wetlands and nearly all of the pastureland are gone.

  • Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary
    Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. With origins that can be traced to annual fairs and 18th-century pleasure grounds, and much influenced by America’s Coney Island amusement park of the 1890s, England has one of the finest amusement park and fairground ride heritages in the world. A surprising amount survives today. The most notable site is Blackpool Pleasure Beach, in Lancashire, which has an unrivalled heritage of pre-1939 fairground rides. Other early survivals in England include scenic railways at Margate and Great Yarmouth, and water splash rides in parks at Kettering, Kingston-upon-Hull and Scarborough that date from the 1920s. This guidance note has been written by Allan Brodie and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ Published by Historic England June 2015.
