As spring arrives plans for
the 2014 Clinton County Fair are well under way. Entertainment, judges and events
are being lined up. Dates have been set for Wednesday, July 16th through

Many fair favorites will be
returning. Evening entertainment will include the Garden Tractor Pull; Mutton Bustin’,

Other free things to see and do will include a chick hatching display, Miller’s
Petting Zoo, Farm Bureau’s “Farming at the Fair”, “I Milked a Cow”, the Painted

While you are at the fair this
summer you will want to be on the lookout for the Amazing Bigfoot; Wild Bill
Toady’s Reptile and Amphibian Extravaganza; and balloon artist, Zany Janie and
her Magic Balloon Show. On Friday and Saturday nights of fair the Clinton
County Cattlemen will be serving a supper sandwich special.
