Gov. Tony Evers on Thursday delivered his weekly radio address celebrating the kickoff of the 175th Wisconsin State Fair, which runs through Aug. 16 at State Fair Park in West Allis.
Each year, the Wisconsin State Fair, a celebration of Wisconsin history, culture and traditions, welcomes over 1 million attendees.
Most prominent at the annual celebration is Wisconsin’s agricultural industry, with hundreds of animal exhibits, youth competitions, daily demonstrations and educational programming.
“For 175 years, the state fair has served as a spotlight of the proud agricultural traditions that are in our DNA as Wisconsinites and the many industries and people that made us the state we are today,” Evers said.
A full schedule of daily events and performances, as well as features at this year’s fair, can be found on the Wisconsin State Fair website.
