In 2006, 861,408 Fairgoers devoured thousands of cream puffs, shopped ‘til they dropped, rocked out to great entertainment, experienced life on a farm and created memories for a lifetime. Throughout the 156 years, the Wisconsin State Fair has created memories that have transcended generations and is steeped with the rich traditions of the State of Wisconsin – agriculture, racing, circus, entertainment and family participation.
