Eleven-year-old Hannah Jane Robbins of Elm Creek, right, entertains with the song, "Orange Blossom Special," before the gospel show and Galaxy of Stars talent search at the Chase County Fair Thursday morning in Imperial. Hannah has played the accordion for almost five years, she said, encouraged to pick up the squeeze box by her grandfather, Marvion Reichert of Kearney. Her grandparents bought her first accordion and her grandmother takes her to lessons, she said. Now, Hannah shares her lessons with her grandfather, who learned to play many years ago by ear. The father-and-sons band of "The Caballeros," top, of Evans, Colo., shared their love of Jesus Christ through song. Band members are (from left) Fernando Caballero Sr., and his sons, Eli and Fernando Jr. On the drums, not shown, is Micah. More information is available at http://www.chasecountyfair.com
