🎡 Exciting things are coming to the 2026 Kossuth County Fair! 🎠

Once again, we’re excited to welcome our NEW carnival, Get R’ Fried Midway, and we’ve launched a special initiative to provide FREE carnival rides for kids & youth throughout fair week!

We know rising costs can make it difficult for families to enjoy everything the fair has to offer, and our goal is to create a fun, affordable experience where every child can make lasting memories. Any additional funds raised will help expand youth entertainment, activities, and attractions during the fair.

If you or your business would like to support this effort, we’d love your help in making the 2026 fair extra special for the kids and families of Kossuth County! ❤️💙
