A fair turnout

ROSHOLT – The 93rd annual Rosholt Portage County Fair brought in fair numbers during the Labor Day weekend event.
Promoted as one of the largest 4-H fairs in the state, the four-day event, which ran Aug. 30 – Sept. 2, was a perfect mix of old and new featuring a little history and some new surprises.
Visitors enjoyed games, live music, exhibits, wrestling, demonstrations, and many facets of entertainment that the nearly century-old fair had to offer.
