The First day of the McLean County fair was yesterday, there is plenty of fun to be had.

Fair Manager, Mike Swartz, explains his role in the commercial side of planning a fair. It's his job to organize the contract with the carnival, the food stands, the free on-grounds entertainment, and more. 

Swartz notes the school supply drive, and the impact that has on McLean County, as well as all the fun events that are put on at the festival. 

Farm Bureau Assistant Manager, Anna Ziegler, explains the Food and Farm Fun Zone where people can experience different kinds of farm equipment, baby animals, and make-&-take activities. The goal is to inform people of where their food comes from, and what that process looks like. She notes its for all ages, and they also host day care groups!

The Mclean County Fair continues on through the weekend with more fun events. You can find out more about the fair at mcleancountyfair.org/
