There are huge animal barns and hundreds of young adults showing their livestock for judging. They have horse shows, rodeos, exhibitions, and a lot to keep you entertained. Some never leave the barn areas their whole time at the fair which typically would be 3-4 days as they rotate livestock in the pens. To keep these youngsters (and oldsters) in supplies this old market store has existed tucked away in the barns. It is the best place to get a freshly brewed cup of coffee early in the morning.

Poultry including pigeons, chickens, turkeys, and maybe a goose or duck.

Milk goats are a favorite with the younger group. The goats seem to have a playful nature that attracts interaction with both the owners and visitors.

Fun at the sheep wash! The dairy goats always seem to have a good outlook of their lives.

Cows

Meeting old friends and making new friends.

Kids and 4H (makes the Fair special)

Some call it the Conservation building and the rest of us call it the DNR. The State Department of Natural Resources puts on a big display. These guys are the breeders of the non-food species. And if you want to eat their products you have to buy a license.
