Music programing for this year’s Presque Isle County Fair and Millersburg Homecoming is being finalized. 

 
The Darwin Project, a northeast Michigan band with a national reputation,  will headline Saturday night, August 30, on the Rogers City Stage on the fairgrounds  at the Presque Isle County Fair. The band’s appearance was arranged through Dean Adams and the 3 Cedars Restaurant in Millersburg.

Country and bluegrass music will also be part of the weekend. Jim Bancroft and Gang will perform on Friday evening and Pickin for People will perform on Saturday.  Performance times and venues are still to  be determined.

The 2013 Far is over! If you didn't come to the fair, then you missed out on a great weekend!
The Weather was wonderful, and there was much to do within the
town of Millersburg.

We now have a new Presque Isle County Fair Queen Ericka Pauley,
and the Junior Queen is Desiree Smillie. We wish both young ladies the best of
2013 & 2014, and remember you are LADIES.

The Fair was a success and the turnout was awesome! We had more exhibits this year, in the exhibit building, and many new exhibitors that participated.

Our petting zoo was a huge crowd pleaser with the young and old alike. Who doesn’t like petting a buffalo, or emu? We had the small animals along with the big animals, with quite a variety to see, pet and
feed.
New this year we had the many different kinds of kid’s games.
They were for the young children and then there were more difficult ones for the older children. If you could solve and master the game the kids were then awarded a wooden token. They could then turn them in at the redemption center for prizes. The more tokens they earned the bigger the prize they could receive. 

This was a hit, and will be brought back again next year.
We have many venders that have already committed for next year, and want to reserve their space.
The field stock music and eagles beer tent goes hand in hand and work well together.

The Mud Bog was a beautiful night with the warm sun shining and more than usually for the amount of trucks that were entered. It was a great turnout and the crowd had a blast.

So................. the 2013 Presque Isle County Fair will go down in history as another successful year!
