Sure the fair does not officially open until Wednesday. But that doesn’t mean a lot of preparation hasn’t been going on for a while at the fairgrounds in Wilmot.
Take Sunday for example. Groups were scattered around the fairgrounds taking care of tasks from preparing animal barns to dragging excess vegetation out of the casting pond.
Here’s some of what was going on Sunday at the fairgrounds to get the fair ready for you and thousands of others to enjoy.
Decorations were going up in the swine barn.
Preparations at the Open Class Building included a good sweeping out.
Woodchips were being put down in this cattle barn.
These young workers and others were helping drag excess vegetation out of the casting pond.
It was just Sunday, but some midway rides were already on scene and set-up.
This year’s fair runs from Aug. 19 to 23.
