There are a lot of options to make your dollar go further at the Wisconsin State Fair. The WI State Fair Park Foundation is known for the Milk House, selling four unique flavors of milk this year (including root beer -- a top seller). But for the first time, the Milk House is where you can sink your teeth into the Blue Ribbon Brownie. If adults are looking for something stronger, the new Charity Bar is located in Central Park. Thirty percent of your drink tab will go to the Foundation. Executive Director Anna Zeck hopes to beat last year's fundraising total of $75,000. Stephanie Hoff speaks with Anna about how the Foundation reinvests that money into the park and community programs. Most recently, they brought more than 700 Milwaukee youth to the park for an agricultural learning experience. 

County fair season is in full swing. There have been over a dozen counties that have already had their county fair and we are not even halfway through county fair season. Executive Director of the Wisconsin Association of Fairs, Jayme Buttke, speaks with Nate Zimdars about how county fair season is progressing in addition to some legislative conversations at the State Capital that will have an impact on county fairs.

Charitee Seebecker speaks with Marilyn Bollinger about her family's century farm. Marilyn and her husband Tom were pork producers until 2010. Tom passed away in 2021 and his son, Jesse, is operating the farm now and continues to grow corn and soybeans. Marilyn and her family are thankful to receive the century farm award and carry on his legacy.
