What do you look forward to most at the Door County Fair?
Lucille Fleming, 434 N. 7th Pl.: "The things I look forward to most at the fair are the vegetable and flower exhibits and the demolition derby. We always enjoy the derby because we usually have a son-in-law participating."
Lenore Hart, Sand Bay: "We are just summer residents here and we usually don't have a chance to get to the fair."
William and Judy Smith, Fish Creek: "The thing we enjoy most about the Door County fair is the annual demolition derby."
Arby Roth, R. 1: "We look forward to having a good time at the fair. We always enjoy the exhibits - especially the 4-H exhibits and the horses."
Chad and Michele Williams, children of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Williams, 750 N. 8th: Michele - "I like riding those little toy cars and the airplanes. I also like to eat those cotton candies and Mr. Misties." Chad - "I like the little cars Michele does and I also like the snowmobiles. It is fun to look at the horsies, too. I like the cotton candy."
Vera Rice, Sister Bay: "There are so many things to see and do at the Door County fair that I look forward to everything. We are just summer residents up from Florida but we look forward to the fair. We enjoy the art and food displays. The rides are great for the children but we are a little old for them now."
Ken Zilisch, 126 S. Duluth: "One of the things I like best about the fair is the fact that there is involvement for all ages. The 4-H groups who work hard and receive little recognition the rest of the year have a chance to show what they can do. Not only the 4-H people but the many other groups who are often behind the stage can now show off their crafts, skills and other accomplishments. Going to the fair is kind of a meeting place - it gives people a chance to visit with their friends and neighbors. The sounds, music and excitement are all of what makes a county fair."
