Manitowoc County Fair - Wisconsin

10/20/2026

Ever wonder where the money we raise through our community fundraisers goes? Here's one great example!

Every year, our Manitowoc Noon Rotary members roll up their sleeves and volunteer at the Manitowoc County Fair Gates. Those hours of service help us raise funds that go right back into our community. And sometimes, those dollars go even further!

🌟 In recognition of National Farmers’ Day, several anonymous donors offered to match donations to the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center until a $30,000 matching goal was reached.

Our club was proud to contribute $5,000, which, thanks to the matching opportunity, generated $10,000 in total support! 🙌

Why Farm Wisconsin? As our club president, JR, shared:

💬 “Farm Wisconsin educates and serves youth and families while strengthening an industry that sustains Manitowoc County.”

We love seeing our volunteer hours turn into meaningful support for organizations that educate, strengthen families, and invest in the future of our community.

❤️ That's what Service Above Self looks like! Thank you to everyone who volunteers, supports our fundraisers, and helps us make a difference right here in Manitowoc County.

🍀🎉 Last week, our Fairest of the Fair, Elizabeth Dvorak, celebrated National 4-H Week with the Manitowoc County 4-H program at their Family Fun Night held at the Expo grounds!

We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the Manitowoc County 4-H program and the amazing role they play in our fair community. From showcasing the talents and hard work of our youth to carrying on agricultural traditions, 4-H is such an important part of what makes the Manitowoc County Fair so special. 💚

The fair simply wouldn’t be the same without our 4-H family! Thank you for everything you do to support our youth, our community, and the heart of our fair! ❤️🎡
