They're always going somewhere.

Yes, and I'm always amazed at how clean the grounds are by Monday.

Our team just does a phenomenal job.

But, you know, we have to wrap things up.

Um, looking at numbers, gathering those for media and, um, of course, checking and d- double-checking so we're reporting everything properly.

Um, but we're already getting ready.

We have events, um, that next Thursday we're hosting a Visit Milwaukee and MMAC event that Thursday night.

Yeah, like-

you

know, do their best.

Yes, they do their best.

That's the best way to put that.

But it's not their fault.

They're not God.

And if they could control the weather, they would get paid much more.

They're always going

Yeah.

And, and we always take our revenue that we make and put it back into the fair.

We're program revenue funded for our operating budget, so, uh, we have to make our way as we go here.

So, um, ha- having that situation happen last year, we had to kinda put some things on pause.

Not that there's anything that was dire, um, but we usually'll just do some, some projects throughout the year.

We really had to be careful with our budget because-

Right.

Um, but when you walk through Exploratory Park, there's some great new additions.

There's something pretty much every day, right, an activation or a way for people to come out at a discount?

There is, and again, all of that is listed on our State Fair website, but I can tell you we have some phenomenal sponsors with some great deals.

We want to make sure that this event is affordable for everyone, so definitely take advantage of those.

We also have Crazy Grazing Day on Tuesday of the fair where you can purchase smaller portions of food.

for less money, which will allow you to purchase multiple items and really get that fun, fair flavor going.

And I love for you to remind people that those kids would love to hear your questions and would love to answer questions about their animals that they've raised.

They would.

And I can tell you anybody that.

And it's different every single day.

It is.

You can come and watch the dairy show, which we have the juniors showing those.

And then, you know, we also have the four and six point hitch shows.

We have horse pulling.

There's just so much going on.

You can watch the pigs in the pig barn.

Talk a little bit about that.

So I started at the

Waukesha County Fair.

I began exhibiting dairy cattle when I was nine.

Technically started as a mini 4-H member.

That was before they had clover buds.

So started that when I was seven.

But, you know, got to graduate to big kid 4-H, so to speak, when you're nine and started showing dairy.

But do you want to talk maybe about the cream puff tradition and what that is at Wisconsin State Fair?
