By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Home Connection

  The fun-filled fairis coming to Owatonna in Steele County!  Local residents look forward to the fair all year long.  Some people like the midway rides and the thrills that brings, everyone enjoys the food and each has their favorite.  There are art, floral, food, clothing, 4H, craft, beer/wine, displays galore with entertainment at every turn.

The beer garden is the spot for music, renewing friendships and festivities.  There will be numerous bands that play during the fair with music sure to please all tastes.  There are several stages throughout the fair that showcase local talents of all ages, from dancers and singers to polka bands and the latest high school garage bands.

The 4-H kids get to show off the animals they've taken care of and raised all year to demonstrate their handling and grooming abilities.  There are rabbits, chickens, pigs, horses, cows and calves.  There's a petting zoo, pig races and camel rides.

There are hundreds of food vendors and other vendors at the fair selling the latest and greatest gadgets and services.  Our office will once again host a booth at the fair with information for buyers and sellers and market exposure for our listings.

So don't miss the celebration.  It starts Tuesday, August 12th and runs through Sunday, August 17th.  The weather's going to be great so plan on coming every day - there's no admission at the Steele County Free Fair!

Teri - The town almost shuts down during the fair.  It's definitely the highlight for the year.

I love these kinds of fairs to discover restaurants that I may have never had a chance to eat at before and now I get to taste their very best! They also know that if they impress me, that I will find them and become a regular.
