Since 2019, the fair’s First Aid Station has been staffed by the Salem Lakes Fire/Rescue Department who coordinates with multiple other Kenosha County municipalities to provide the fair with EMS personnel. With the fair’s mission of bringing the community together, having the Rescue and Safety Departments of the county work together to staff this event is the epitome of putting the fair’s mission in action.

The First Aid Station is in the Kenosha County Fair Police Building, which is located in the middle of the fairgrounds, directly north of the Marketplace Building.

The EMS providers can handle any medical condition from a bee sting to heat exhaustion as well as more critical emergencies, including heart attacks.

A licensed ambulance crew is on the grounds during the operating hours of the five-day fair. If patient transport is needed, an emergency call is placed to the Salem Lakes Fire/Rescue. This crew is also equipped with an ATV which can respond to calls anywhere on the fairgrounds.

The First Aid Station includes any medical supplies and equipment that may be needed during the week as well beds with privacy curtains used when evaluating guest’s conditions.

Kenosha County Fair celebrates centennial anniversary

By Tracy Ouellette EDITOR

The Kenosha County Fair is celebrating its 100th festival this year. The centennial part was delayed a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the cancellation of last year’s fair.

Fair Manager Denise Zirbel said the fair is working with the Kenosha County Health Department to ensure everyone’s safety during the fair’s run because the pandemic is still an issue.

“One of the big things we want people to know is if they are not feeling well, this is not the place for you,” Zirbel said. “We’re going to have some additional signage and hand sanitizing stations and if people want to wear a mask, they are certainly welcome to, but it’s not a requirement.

“Other than that, the fair’s going to look pretty much the same, with a few additions and special events to celebrate the centennial.”

This year’s theme is “Sewn in Tradition.”

To celebrate the fair’s anniversary, organizers are bringing back the Sunday parade, Zirbel said.

“We also built the Centennial Plaza, which is a brick seating area near the barns with benches and picnic tables and umbrellas. The plaza has a brick wall with the engraved names of the people who donated to its construction. We can add names every year to the wall for the fair’s supporters.”

The Centennial Plaza dedication ceremony will be on the opening day of the fair, Wednesday, Aug. 18, at 6 p.m.

The annual scavenger hunt has also been switched up for this year’s festival.

“The centennial scavenger hunt, which typically is for kids, is for all ages this year,” Zirbel said.

The Barrel Room is going to showcase the fair’s history by the decade, with memorabilia and artifacts.

“It gives a nice history of the fair for people to look at,” Zirbel said. “We even have ribbons from the very first fair in 1920.”

Additionally, the fair will host some new open class special competition.

“Every year we do a special in every class, related to our theme,” Zirbel said.

“This year we have 34 other classes that were sponsored with gift certificates or cash prizes ranging from food to floral to quilts to arts and crafts and more.”

Other new attractions

One of the new acts at the fair this year is Circus Shane, a family-oriented variety show with juggling, trampoline, magic, audience participation, comedy and more.

The show will be south of the Antique Machinery Display.

Also new this year, the Real Beal’s will provide strolling entertainment. The live, mechanical, husband-and-wife duo perform lively, interactive music that is educational and fun.

The Milwaukee Flyers are making their debut at the Kenosha County Fair this year.

The acrobatic group recruits inner city kids and helps youths exercise their minds as well as their bodies.

There really is someplace like home...

Security is an important part of both planning and running the annual Kenosha County Fair.

The Kenosha County Fair Police is an organization that has existed since the advent of the fair. They are charged with the public safety of all the guests, volunteers, and staff during the fair as well as the races at the Wilmot Raceway, and other events held on the fairgrounds.

The Fair Police officers (or public safety staff) handle all types of incidents at the fairgrounds including lost children, underage drinking, fighting as well as being on the front line with medical emergencies. The staff can detain individuals and refer them to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department, who is also on the fairgrounds during the fair.

The Fair Police also oversee the parking lot attendants during the five days of the fair.

They wear red-logoed polo shirts so that they are easily identifiable to fair guests who need assistance.

The Fair Police use the policies and

ANNIVERSARY

procedures of the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department, and all officers undergo training each year to stay educated and informed.

The knowledge includes everything from crowd control to active shooter drills to drug enforcement.

The Fair Police office is in the middle of the fairgrounds, directly north of the Marketplace building (formerly the Commercial Building). Guests can report lost items, receive first aid, and file complaints at this office.

The Fair Police staff numbers close to 50 people, many of whom have been doing this job for over 20 years. There are husbandand-wife teams, sibling teams as well as multigenerational family members on the staff. The Chief of the Fair Police is Dan Madrigrano, whose tenure spans 30 years with the department.

With safety and security being the No. 1 priority every year, the diligence and competence of the Fair Police staff is achieving this goal.

• CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

Sponsoring a bench or picnic table at the Kenosha County Fair is a great way to demonstrate support, or honor a loved one, while adding pride, appeal, and comfort to the fair grounds for thousands of visitors each season.Sponsorships include an engraved nameplate with a personal dedication. Whether choosing to highlight

a business or family, commemorate a special occasion, or memorialize a loved one, the contribution will create a lasting tribute for all to enjoy.

A bench sponsorship costs $350 and a picnic table sponsorship is $650.
