Tractors and other machines were displayed in several locations around the fair , with enough variety to satisfy even the most enthusiastic of gear heads .
Located at the fairgrounds on Wright County Road 6 ( north of Highway 12 ) in Howard Lake , the Wright County Fair is a summer tradition that draws a big crowd .
The 2020 Fair was to be the 150th Wright County Fair . The board had planned a celebration that would add many events and attractions to the fair schedule .
However , due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the fair board considered all options and determined that opening the fair under the prevailing conditions would not live up to the standards it envisioned for the Wright County Fair , especially for the planned 150th fair celebration .
The fair board made a difficult decision in the best interest of safety and enjoyment of the attendees , employees , exhibitors , vendors , and volunteers , as well as the financial well-being of the fair to avoid risks , fines , and penalties to the fair and possibly Wright County taxpayers . The 150th Wright County Fair for 2020 was postponed until Wednesday through Sunday , July 21-25 , 2021 .
“ The board is undertaking many improvement projects this summer and making plans to come back stronger and better in 2021 , and looks forward to welcoming everyone back to celebrate the 150th Wright County Fair ,” the board noted on the fair ’ s website .
Many a friendly goat could be found at locations throughout the fair .
The Wright County Fair provides a venue at which local residents can showcase their many talents .
