With Luxemburg native Megan Salentine reigning over the festivities as the Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs, you could find many signs of Door and Kewaunee counties sprinkled throughout Wisconsin State Fair Park as the Wisconsin State Fair completed its first weekend.

The connections stretched from the Wisconsin Products Pavilion, where Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese and Agropur were represented for their award-winning cheese and Salmon's Meat Products for award-winning meat sticks, to the youth exhibits pavilion, where projects were displayed. In between were the agricultural exhibits, where youth from Door and Kewaunee counties showed off their cows, pigs, and other animals to the public. 

Among those were Josie Kinnard, Lily Karnz, and Evan Brey of Door County and Stella Jauquet, Molly Salentine, Jace Dolphin, Jade Kroll, Aubrey Daul, Caleb Salentine, Katie Ledvina, and Colton Schultz of Kewaunee County, who all took up residency in the dairy barns during the fair’s opening weekend. Even after they were done in the show ring, Daul explained how the state’s dairy projects keep competing in the herdsmanship competition.

Just as Southern Door alum Noah Rass and Luxemburg-Casco alum Joey Theucks shuffle in and out from backstage at their Kids from Wisconsin shows and Megan Salentine goes from Grand Champion Hall to the Coliseum, other exhibitors from Door and Kewaunee counties will also be arriving and leaving for other competitions during the week. The Wisconsin State Fair runs until August 10th.
