benton county fair

Last year at the Benton County Fair, I milked a fake talking cow. It was pretty weird, and actually pretty challenging. The things I do for my job!

The Benton County Fair is bigger and better than ever in 2016 for six big days & nights in Sauk Rapids. If you have a late summer need for fair food (I need a corn dog or seven), rides (those too), animals, entertainment, vendors, music, exhibits, and more -- this is for you! We'll see you there.

I scored a whopping 56 items. This year, I want to challenge you to see if you can beat my record!

The sound of lawnmower engines filled the air at the Benton County Fair on Sunday during the fair's first-ever lawnmower races.

My camera man Josh and I decided to brave the rainy weather and bring muffins to the hard working people at the Benton County Fair.
