Tons of fun at Sherburne County Fair

By Katherine Cantin, Staff Writer 462 July 27th, 2023 @ 10:20 am

The annual Sherburne County Fair took place last weekend, and there was lots of fun to be had for visitors of all ages.

Games, food, and rides were available for fairgoers, as well as exciting shows, including a demolition derby, belly dancing, and other entertainment. A beer garden with live music enertained adult patrons.

In addition to all these fun activities, the Sherburne County Fair is an important stage for the 4-H students of the county. It is here that the efforts of the students are shown for the world to see, and one of the only public platforms these hardworking students have to show off their skills. Students showed off their skills working with animals as well as their prowess in arts and engineering. Some 4-H’ers will be recognized for their County Fair efforts and will be invited to the State Fair. This important weekend was celebrated by the 4-H’ers of all ages who were excited to show the skills they learned over the past year.
