The Wright County Fair will be serving up plenty of fun and variety Wednesday, Aug. 4 through Sunday, Aug. 8, 2010.

Gold Star Amusements offered more games, bigger rides, and was a more professional carnival in 2009.

Aside from the excitement of a new carnival, attendees had fun no matter what their age with 4-H animals and exhibits, savory fair food, live entertainment and music every day, and much more.

For the third year in a row, the combine derby was a big hit. With a sold-out derby the previous year with general admission ticket sales, the board decided the 2008 derby would have reserved seating, which allowed 1,000 extra seats. Even with more seats, the derby was nearly soldout.

Young ladies from across Wright County have an opportunity to represent this fine fair in the Fairest of the Fair coronation. Here, an array of the county’s single women, ages 17-25, compete for the crown.

Those who are interested in serving as an ambassador for the Wright County Fair as the “Fairest of the Fair,” may contact Charlie Nelson at (763) 675-6705 or e-mail him at charlienelson@peternelson.com for information and an application.

For car smashing enthusiasts, the fair offers its demolition derby Friday and Sunday nights.

Twenty-five acts took the stage for the talent show in 2009. There are three categories, pre-teen, for ages 12 and under; teen for ages 13 to 18, and open class for all ages.
