The Vernon County Fair

Fair season is a wonderful time. The smell of cotton candy, funnel cakes and popcorn is in the air. As you look around you see tons of rides, some that you would never dare catch yourself on, and games that you can't wait to sink your little hands into. I, unfortunately, am not one for the big intense rides. My favorite ride is the ferris wheel because it's nice and calm and you can see so much of what's going on around you. Stopping directly at the top is quite scary for me, since I am afraid of heights, but in the end when the ride is done, it's worth it. The games are so much fun, but you have to be careful about which ones aren't rip-offs.

I had never went to the fair at night before, but I did this year and it's so much more interesting at night-time than during the day! Everything is lit up and it looks so pretty.

Rides and games arent the only sources of entertainment during fair time. A person can't forget about the showing of animals. Children and adults from all over the county enter their animals in the fair hoping to win a blue ribbon to add to their collections.


I had a great time at the Vernon County Fair this year and I can't wait for next year!

  1. That does sound like a ton of fun sound like you had a wonderful time. Your post reminds me of when I was little. Though I do prefer the more extreme rides and not so much the ferris wheel. Maybe you ought to give the more extreme rides a try next time.

  2. Reading your post reminds me of when I was younger. Getting together with a bunch of good friends, going down the Monroe County Fair, in my hometown, Tomah, was always a good time. Enjoying all the bright lights and being with friends made for a very memorable experience. Thank you for reminding me of some old memories. Being so busy it's hard to get home and enjoy the slow country nights the way I used to before I moved up here to go to school.
