You will see a new bandstand shelter at the Door County Fair this summer thanks to the generosity of organizations like the AMVETS Post 51.  The veteran’s organization in Door County donated $10,000 last fall to make the open-air pavilion possible at John Miles County Park.  Member and Wisconsin Am Vets Executive Director Dale Wiegand says the new addition to the fairgrounds will be located between the Am Vets food stand and the Farm Bureau stand.  He says the facility will make the setting better when bands are performing at the fair, or other events held there under less-than-ideal weather conditions during the year.   

After the initial ground-breaking last fall, Door County Parks & Facilities is preparing for the concrete work and post-installation of the open-air pavilion at John Miles County Park this spring. The pavilion will be ready for the Door County Fair’s main stage concerts, community gatherings, and other large events, rain or shine. The Door County Fair is scheduled for August 13-17.
