If you are heading to West Allis for the Wisconsin State Fair over the next week, you may encounter some familiar faces from Door and Kewaunee counties. Thursday marked not just the first day you could ride on the Sky Glider or devour your first Cream Puff, but it also served as the opener for several livestock shows, including dairy cattle, rabbits, dairy goats, and pigs. Among those exhibiting is Pilsen Skylighters member Molly Salentine, who made it to the final round of her dairy showmanship class for thirteen-year-olds. Spending her time with other kids from the Kewaunee County Dairy Project, she says exhibiting at the Wisconsin State Fair is a great experience.

In addition to local kids exhibiting animals throughout the 11-day event, several projects from this year's Kewaunee County Fair and last year's Door County Fair are on display. You will also find Luxemburg-Casco alum Joey Theucks, who is performing with Kids from Wisconsin during their fair-long residency. The Wisconsin State Fair runs until August 11th.
