COUNTY FAIR

When weather cooperated, fair went well
For much of last week’s run of the Dakota County Fair, it seemed like Mother Nature was determined to keep people at home. If it wasn’t 95 degrees and so humid even stepping outside seemed like a chore, there were storm clouds and lightning to make people think twice about taking a trip to the fair.

The finer points of showing cows
Though we live in a community that has quite a few large family farms, there’s very few of us who actually live on these farms. Very few of us who actually work with livestock.

Off the lawn and into the pit
Garden tractors have long been useful tools for hacking away at overgrown lawns, but at this year’s Dakota County Fair the normally peaceful landscaping tools are going to unleash a whole new kind of destruction.
The lawn tractors and their drivers will be set lose on each other in a miniature-scale demolition derby to be held at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 11.

Getting dirty
It’s Monday morning. It’s steamy-warm outside. It’s one week until the opening day of the Dakota County Fair.

Talking with Don Storlie: Running the fair’s a big job
Three years ago, Don Storlie sold the business he’d built and run for more than 30 years. He’s far from retired, though.
These days, Storlie is the guy who is more or less in charge of one of the largest county fairs in Minnesota. Not only is Storlie the president of the Dakota County Agricultural Society - otherwise known as the fair board, since the Ag society oversees the fair — but this year, he’s the manager, too.
