We just wrapped up the six best days of summer at the Freeborn County Fair, and what an amazing job our fair board has done again this year! If you have never worked a booth at the fair, you might not get an up close and personal perspective on what this hardworking group does.

Our fair board works in a collaborative way all year long. There is most likely never a day that goes by without the fair and fairgrounds on their minds. From planning to contact negotiations, setting up, directing crews, addressing repairs and welcoming all of us, they are top notch at what they do. Every day I witnessed each of them in action, in the intense heat, working to make the fair an enjoyable experience for all!

I am so grateful for all of them and their world class staff and workers. The ladies in the fair office are always at the top of their game, offering excellent customer service with great attention to detail.
