A 2010 storyboard describes Nelson Day at the Central Maine Fairground. This storyboard includes an article from the July 3rd issue of Turf Farm and Home that describes Hod Nelson agreeing to present his life's work to central Maine fairgoers. Hod Nelson's career had both good and bad moments. This day however demonstrates that in the end Nelson's reputation and lifework was cherished by many of the people in the State of Maine.
The items that create one of the major attractions at the Exhibition Hall were the trophies and photographs representing Nelson's career. Some of these items can be found at the Redington Museum in Waterville. However, much of Nelson memorabilia is lost or in private collections.
