The next meeting of the Baraga County Fair will be held this Wednesday, May 13th, at 6:00 PM in the Main Hall.

Attendees can enjoy snacks and coffee while they share their ideas. Parents are encouraged to attend, as there will be a designated play area for children available.

With the fair only 88 days away, now is the perfect time to get involved and find out how you can help. We hope to see you there!
In addition: Could you let me know what the prices are for advertising? We would like to start running an ad campaign in June/July!
