With eight family members working and some others exhibiting, it is hard to explore the Door County Fair without running into a member of the Ash family. Tom, Thad, and Tim Ash are all following in the footsteps of their father as members of the Door County Fair Board. Tim says he caught the bug when he was a 4-H member showing sheep and beef cattle in the barns.

His nephew, Aaron Ash, is also following in his family’s footsteps as the fair’s beef and sheep superintendent. He says the fair is a time of bonding for him and his father.

You can find members of the Ash family around the Door County Fair until the event’s close on Sunday.
