2008 Ozaukee County Fair

The Midwest's annual Ozaukee County Fair is almost here. This year, the fair will be held from Wednesday, July 30th to Sunday, August 3rd in Cedarburg. There will be live music, livestock, rides, beauty pageants and, of course, lots and lots of food! Some of the grandstand events include a truck pull on Wednesday, tractor pull on Thursday and a demolition derby on Friday and Saturday. Also on Thursday and Friday, you can enjoy reduced ride rates from 12pm-5pm. There is a small animal auction happening Sunday at 11am. Some of the daily events include chain saw carving (four shows daily), Comedy Safari Show (three shows daily) and women wood carvers, a new event added to this year's festivities. There will also be live music performed at Center Stage daily. For teenagers looking to promote their band and possibly win some cash, the 5th Annual Teen Battle of the Bands will hold two competitions at the Main Gate stage on Sunday, August 3rd. The two categories competing will be ages 14 and younger and ages 15-19. First prize is $220. And, no fair would be complete without the "Fairest of the Fair" competition, which will be held on Wednesday. Fair hours are: noon to midnight on Wednesday (opening day), 8am-midnight on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 8am-8pm on Sunday (closing day).
