The storied history of the Wisconsin State Fair began in 1851 when the first Fair was held in Janesville, Wis. Approximately 8,000 – 12,000 people attended the first State Fair for the admission price of 10¢. Since then, almost a million Fairgoers enjoy the annual, fun-filled State Fair each year. Each year between 800,000 and 850,000 Fairgoers devour thousands of cream puffs, shop ‘til they drop, take in fantastic and diverse entertainment, experience life on a farm and create memories for a lifetime. Throughout the 158 years, the Wisconsin State Fair has created memories that have transcended generations and is steeped with the rich traditions of the State of Wisconsin – agriculture, racing, circus, entertainment and family participation.

Well Done

As a new-comer to the entertaining busines, Lovato is very adapting. She Has done nothing wrong to get her a bad reputation and is even a new idol for kids to look up to. Her sound is nice. She has a strong, well-ranged voice.
