County Fair Legacy Project
This year the Wilkin County Ag Society will use the legacy grant to hire musical entertainment throughout the duration of the fair. We will also have a magician and balloon artist for two days of the fair. This year we will be having a draft horse pulling demonstration that will include the history of how horse pulls played a role in early county fairs.
We are hoping to draw large crowds for our kids day and family day. These are the two days that our magician/balloon artist will be there. Because of how the demos are done, it is difficult to quantify numbers as people can mill in and out of the area where demonstrations are held. The same holds true for our musicians and horse pull demo. They will be performing throughout their designated days and some will be providing music for our talent show and our two pageants, which all draw large crowds. We can designate someone to try and take attendance or estimate attendance at the various demos and performances.
