The best summer party of the year is found at the Waseca County Free Fair in July – that’s when the fairgrounds come alive with music, food, animals, grandstand events, the midway and camaraderie. Each year, the five-day fair begins with a ceremony at the county Veterans Memorial and often a Wednesday evening pork supper. Kids of all ages flock to the midway for carnival rides, games, prizes and the much-desired fair food. Local 4-H Club members bring their livestock, rabbits and dogs; they operate the 4-H food stand; enter their handmade clothing and work in the livestock barns. Residents from across the county continue the tradition of competition by bringing their best flowers and biggest vegetables, works of art and baked goods to compete for fair ribbons in dozens of categories.
