By almost all accounts and analytics, the Brown County Fair was a big success in 2026, Fair Manager Rachel Kippley started the recap with Fair Board and Volunteer numbers.

Kippley said they were short of a full staff in both categories starting with Board Members.

McKenzie Bierman gave Camping numbers and revenue figures.

Kippley addressed the Grandstand entertainment numbers that brought in $1,377,047.00 and Bierman followed with Carnival totals.

Kippley emphasized the hard work and cooperation of many County Departments, like the Highway Department, Planning and Zoning, County Landfill employees who hauled away trash and the many Volunteers and Friends of the Fair that make it all possible.
