Great crowd treated to great weather at Wadena fair
The Wadena Vohon Ukrainian Dance Club was one of a number of organizations who entered floats into the Wadena Town and Country Fair parade. photo by Christopher Lee By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter Wadena hosted the Town and Country Fair on Aug. 26-28. It was a busy weekend full of many events for the whole family including a fireworks display, a pancake breakfast, a parade featuring 28 groups, a demolition
derby, gymkhana, chuck and chariot races, and a slow pitch tournament among many more activities. Fair committee chair, Sara Sobchyshyn, was very pleased with how the weekend turned out noting they saw nearly 1,100 people over the course of the weekend. “The town puts so much effort into getting the grounds together and so it’s nice to see that everybody can come out and enjoy it.” One of the biggest relief ’s for Sobchyshyn was the weather, which cooperated nicely

over the course of the weekend. “Wadena’s used to being rained out every year for our fair so since we moved it to August it’s just been a blessing that the weather has cooperated with us and we can actually proceed with the big events.” One of the big successes over the weekend was the parade, says Sobchyshyn, which saw a spike in the number of commercial floats from supporting businesses this year. “We had lots of compliments on the parade. It was very well organized by the girls and very well supported which is nice to see.” Hosting the fair was a community effort as over 100 volunteers pitched in to
make the fair a success, which is a very humbling feeling says Sobchyshyn. “Because it means something to everybody to have this event continue to go on for the years to come for everybody to enjoy. Everybody puts in an effort to make it the success and the weekend that it is.” Having such a large crowd of people come out for the weekend was really encouraging and encourages the committee to continue working hard to make it bigger and better for the coming years, says Sobchyshyn. “It makes the person want to go and do it again and… put more enthusiasm and continue to build the community spirit for all of our citizens and the surrounding area.”
