Food choices are abundant at the fair featuring the traditional corn dog, BBQ, corn on the cob, ‘Vikings On a Stick’, fresh lemonade, and beer gardens.
Stages around the grounds provide free entertainment that can include music, comedy, hypnosis, kid’s entertainment, variety acts, draft horses, and more.
