There were several weeks of work involved by a lot of people before you enjoy the sights and sounds of the Kewaunee County Fair this weekend.

Youth exhibitors and their parents were making the final adjustments in the livestock barns Wednesday afternoon to make sure their animals were comfortable and their displays were finished. The expo hall was decorated to fit the Fun and Games theme of this year’s fair after participants brought in hundreds of entries to be judged.

Kewaunee County Fairest of the Fair Vanessa Van Pay and Junior Fairest of the Fair Jakayla Steinhorst are seeing the event from both sides this year as the event’s official hostesses. Van Pay got to help judge the Cloverbuds' entries while also caring for her animals in the barns. Steinhorst has already captured Top Trainer honors in the rabbit hopping contest and a first-place ribbon for her pottery in addition to caring for her animals. They are looking forward to continuing their reign through the Kewaunee County Fair.

The first animal show was Thursday evening with the goats being exhibited in the Andy Barta Legacy Show Pavilion. Many of the other shows are on Thursday and Friday before the livestock auction on Saturday.
