County Fairs

Being honored and inducted into this year's Hall of Fame are Glen Johnson, Deb McDermott Johnson, and Richard Steinberg.

Some of the deputies were kicked and spat at.

The Steele County Fair is quickly approaching. What are you most looking forward to?

Dick Reinhardt and Jim Grass spent their lives involved in many aspects of the Steele County Fair.

Yesterday during the Rice County Fair's 'Best of the Best' agricultural awards Jerry was surprised to learn that he had won an award, one that wasn't listed in the program, and on top of that honor, he was then surprised with his whole family being in attendance.

Wednesday Jerry Groskreutz is looking forward to hosting the "Best of the Best Agriculture Awards" from the fair in an expanded KDHL AM Minnesota program. Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Thom Petersen is scheduled to be in attendance.

Here in Minnesota, we are trapped by cold weather for longer than (seemingly) humanly possible, so when summer comes, we seize all the sunshine we can; hence the reason we have county fairs nearly every summer weekend.

The Great Outdoors Center will house the National Eagle Center from Wabasha & the Raptor Center from the UM during the fair.

It opens tomorrow and will feature several unique competitions like a hotdish cookoff, a cow milking competition, and a longest beard contest.

It's so fun because there are certain things you'll see at every fair, without fail. Check out the list below.
