RONAN – After a full week of 4-H judging, fair-goers got to wind down during the final two evenings of events at the Lake County Fair this past week. Fair-goers took a break from the busy schedule of events during the second annual talent show, followed by the ambassadors dance Friday evening.
According to Lake County Fair Secretary Roxanne Hovenkotter, the fair hosted two free live music concerts, which brought large crowds on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.
“The concerts turned out well, we want to continue doing them in the future,” Hovenkotter said. “As people start to realize we have these free concerts they should get even more popular.”
Wednesday evening’s concert by performed by acoustic band Babaganoush. The earlier concert time helped bring the larger of the two concert crowds. Hovenkotter attributed the disparity in crowd numbers to the earlier dinner hour set from 5-7 p.m., where “Party Trained” took the stage at 9 p.m. on Saturday. She said in the future fair organizers will try to schedule all performances at a convenient time.
This year’s talent show was also very popular, bringing some 800 entrants to the stage to show off their unique talents, more than double the number of entrants last year.
“The talent show was a huge hit this year,” Hovenkotter said. “It was bigger and better than in the past.”
“The fair was lovely, it was one of the best,” she added. “Everything ran smoothly.”
The fair’s traditional 4-H events also attracted large audiences in support the hard-working youth competitors who put countless hours into training and preparing their animals.
