The Houghton County Fair has announced this year’s board members. The Board’s Annual meeting was held recently and elected Rick Freeman, Jack Dunstan, Taana Kalliainen and newcomer Kyle Maki each to three year terms.
2017’s Fair season brought nearly 23,000 in attendance over the four days, a relatively low figure from previous years.. The report attributed that to rain on Sunday, but also generalizes this year’s fair as very successful.
The 2018 Fair will be held from August 23rd to the 26th and will feature Skerbeck Entertainment as the midway provider. Grand Stand Entertainment will include a Monster Truck Throw down, and ATV Jumpers for three daily weekend shows. Other entertainment also includes “Canines in the Clouds” Dock Driving Dogs, Animal Exhibits from Whispering Pines Mobil Zoo, and puppeteer Kevin Kameraad.
