Fair week at the Wisconsin Valley Fair has officially wrapped up, and our team made the most of every fried treat, fun event, and volunteer shift! 💪

Holly showed off her grate skills in the cheese carving competition—her hearse sculpture was udderly impressive. We’re still salty it didn’t take home the blue ribbon! 🧀🚗💀

Meanwhile, Ryley and Shannon were out at the gates repping the Elks Club. And when Sarah wasn’t wrangling fair animals with her kids, she was serving up cold drinks and fair food with the Noon Optimists. 🍔🍺🐷

We’re proud to be part of a community that shows up, volunteers hard, and knows how to have a little fun along the way. The Wisconsin Valley Fair was a success! Until next year! 🐄🎪🌭
