Get to the county fair

Published 9:27 am Monday, July 28, 2008

The Freeborn County Fair enters full swing Tuesday. Make sure you get out to the county fair and check out all the action.

There is no doubt locals take pride in their fair. It is unlike neighboring fairs, which largely try and fail to copy Steele County’s fair. Our fair is its own brand. It is uniquely Freeborn County’s and most see it as more bang for the buck than any other fairs. It has big-name performers on top of other fair fun. Voters at AlbertLeaTribune.com earlier this summer voted it the No. 1 major event in Albert Lea. The race wasn’t even close.

However, all that aside, the best reason to attend the Freeborn County Fair is because it is so much a display of the Freeborn County communities. It links us all together. Go to the fair, meet some strangers, see your neighbors, learn something you didn’t know, discover a youth’s project, test your skills and enjoy the summertime food.
