Dunn County Fair Thrills with Racing and 4H Showcases

During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the successful Dunn County Fair, highlighting the contributions of fair board members and the engaging activities that took place. Supervisor Bjork, who actively participated in the fair, praised the efforts of fellow board members, including Ron, Patrick, Bob, and Andrew, who facilitated educational games for children, focusing on civics and government knowledge.

The fair featured a diverse range of activities, with a notable presence from both the Democratic and Republican parties, who showcased their initiatives. The event also included appearances from local figures, such as Alice in Dairyland, and media coverage from Wax Radio, which interviewed young attendees.

Supervisor Bjork commended the facilities team for their hard work in managing logistics, including the setup of bleachers and gates. He noted the excitement surrounding the tractor pull event, which showcased powerful machinery, and emphasized the positive interactions between children and sheriff's department representatives, who engaged with attendees through educational displays.

The fair introduced new elements this year, allowing younger children to participate in showcasing stuffed animals, fostering creativity and involvement in 4-H projects. Supervisor Bjork expressed appreciation for the 4-H agent, Zach, who effectively connected with the children and their families.

Supervisor Thomas also acknowledged the collaborative efforts that made the fair a success, particularly the racing association's role in organizing grandstand activities. The meeting concluded with a reminder about the upcoming county picnic, with contingency plans in place for inclement weather.
