After the Fair09/04/2013  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! Fair exhibit how-to workshops have been scheduled for Friday August 16 at 3:00pm and 6:30pm at the MSU Extension office located at 106 East Huron Street in Rogers City.

Who in the world is thinking about the fair, activities, food venders, and demonstrators? WE ARE….......! !?!! The Directors, officers and board members! That’s right, we have our monthly meetings all winter long, and as time get closer to the fair dates, we start meeting 2 times a month. It takes much organization, and phone calls to bring the county fair all together, unfortunately it just don’t happen without a lot of leg work. That is where our volunteers come in so handy. Anyone can talk on the phone, or send an e-mail. When the snow is deep, that is when we try to lock in our demonstrators, venders, and groups. The fair book is adjusted with changes and updates, to prepare it for printing. The cover is voted on by the board of members, and then it is finalized.If you would like to be in at the ground floor with your suggestions, ideas, and knowledge, this is the perfect time to jump on board, and show us what you have.

There will be 5 locations for you to visit, and check out their displays, information, buy a book, or baked good, as you visit their location, get your card punched. You fill up your card with four punches in locations in the village and then, bring your card to the fair grounds for the last punch. Cards with all five punches can be entered into the drawing for prizes like gas cards from local stations, Woodwinds restaurant certificate's other gift certificate's that Fair volunteers are still gathering from county businesses. We will keep drawing out punch cards untill all the prizes are giving away. The drawings will be the same night.
