"It's one thing to be a part of an organization.

It's another thing to be a part of the community."

-Travis Kelce

The 176th Walworth County Fair: As the Fair Turns had us spinning!

What an amazing week of food, friends and fair-favorites.

Your favorite part is different than my favorite part [unless your favorite part is all the delicious food] and that is how over 100K+ guests all come to enjoy this tremendous event each and every year.

This annual ag-venture never ceases to astound me. The number of men and women and groups and teams of people who raise their hand to participate and make the fair go 'round is incredible. I love this event for one major reason and that is how our county represents community for six full days. Gives me goosebumps!

I have to give a special shout out to those who share space with Chris and I on our pad of concrete at the fair. We are so appreciative of the groups that assemble to join us for a few hours [or an entire day] of serving cold beverages at the Walworth County Fair.

Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers,
