Kane County Fair in St. Charles: A Delicious Time Warp

Why would you attend the Kane County Fair in St. Charles in 100 degree heat and the smell that only 100s of cows and sheep can produce under a tent? Why would you actively seek out the produce tents to admire potatoes? Why would you re-arrange your work schedule to attend the poultry judging contests, because in fact your familiarity with poultry stops with the Purdue label?

You should embrace this opportunity, because the Kane County Fair in St. Charles is a sweet trip back in time to a society that we used to be -- or that we hoped existed at one time -- and in many ways wish we still enjoyed. If nothing else, the Kane County Fair is an opportunity to indulge in corn dogs, sweet slushies and cotton candy while enjoying the rodeo or watching the kids spin themselves into a dizzy mess on the Tilt-A-Wheel.
