Attendance at this year’s Rock County 4-H Fair is down, but outgoing fair board President Randy Thompson is optimistic about the six-day event’s long-term viability.
The final attendance was 65,141. Last year, almost 71,800 people came through the gates.
This year’s attendance aligns closely with 2016 and 2017 numbers.
The past two fairs have benefited from great weather.
Friday was the fair’s biggest day this summer with about 15,000 people in attendance.
The Saturday night show by country artist Joe Nichols attracted the biggest grandstand crowd.
