There are a few things that truly bring the entire state of Wisconsin together. The Green Bay Packers. Cheese. And, of course, the Wisconsin State Fair, which wraps up its annual late summer spectacular on Sunday, Aug. 15.
Crammed into these upcoming days are deep-fried unique foods on a stick, outstanding musical performances, crazy competitions, fun farm animals and displays, special shows, weird products and more. So yeah, it's easy to lose track of everything and anything you can do down at the State Fair. That's why we've rounded up all of the entertainment and animal show options hitting West Allis starting this week to help.
So take a look and start mapping out your State Fair!
