Long before you walk through the exhibition areas, hop on a carnival ride, or sample your first brats, many youth and adults are preparing for a long weekend at the Kewaunee County Fair. Animal exhibitors spent their Wednesday getting their animals weighed in and in their designated pens. There was a little extra excitement when a steer escaped the fairgrounds, making its way to downtown Luxemburg. Others were able to put out the bedding for their animals and a makeshift living room for themselves. Alissa Gaedtke, Lane Kinnard, and Wyatt Christoph say they are looking forward to spending time with their friends, family, and animals at the fair.

Youth and adults alike were in the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds Exposition Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday having their projects judged in a number of different categories, ranging from art projects and pillowcases to pies and corn stalks. 

The Kewaunee County Fair officially opens with a Superhero theme on Thursday. Each day will feature live music and entertainment like a rodeo, a BMX bike show, and a truck and tractor pull in the grandstand. The event runs through July 10th.
