It was a bit smaller of a crowd at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair this year.
Fair managers yesterday said about 110-thousand people walked through the fair’s gates this year. Manager Rusty Volk says that’s about 10-percent less than last year. Volk blames the heat and the economy for the smaller crowd. Volk did say that the Leinenkugel Main Stage and the Northwestern Bank Grandstand brought out pretty good crowds for this year’s concerts.
