Pete Hubin, Tri-County Dairy Promoters talks about the importance of the organization…
“We are a group of people interested in promoting dairy products in Wisconsin. It keeps us in touch with the way things were,” Hubin said. “The impact of dairy in Wisconsin is just amazing! When you look at all the products that are made from milk of a dairy cow, it is amazing. It’s just high quality food. Farmers today, they take exceptionally good care of their animals. The breeding, the genetics is unbelievable. The production is, you can’t hardly even imagine, compared to my day.”
Other activities include face painting, kiddie barn, FFA Alumni silent auction, barrel train rides and music with Tommy Rae. Also, free ice cream cones.
The fairgrounds are located on the south side of Spooner on Beaver Brook Avenue, off Highway 63.
