The St. Croix County Fair marked its 81st run with a weekend format to boost attendance. Organizers report a 15-20 percent rise in concession revenue and overall gains in attendance and income, despite fewer exhibitors. Top dairy and beef champions were crowned, and a raffle raised funds for fair activities.
The St. Croix County Fair 4 H livestock auction posted a $36 000 gross from 97 animals despite a weaker economy. Bill Cody’s 1 065 pound steer sold for 90 cents a pound to Cody’s Meats while Troy Schmit’s 240 pound hog brought 2 50 a pound. Lambs averaged 85 cents, hogs averaged 95 cents, and buyers included Cenex of New Richmond. Carcass evaluation and trophy awards are set for Bob’s Country Market in Woodville.
Ed Hanson earned grand champion with a Suffolk cross market lamb at the county fair. The winning lamb sold for $1.40 a pound at Saturday night’s auction, marking his best finish in four years of showing.
