The grand stand line-up for the 2016 Fond du lac County Fair has been announced. For the first time in decades the line-up does not include any major national music entertainment. “It just comes down to being responsible and making sure that we are making decisions that are the best for the fair and our community,” Fair Board executive director, Matt Immel, told WFDL news. “We’re not a music festival, we’re a county fair.” At the same time Immel says he is excited about this year’s line-up. In addition to the Wisconsin country group the Mantz Brothers, the other acts are cover bands, Johnny Wad and Hairball. The Leinie Lodge Stage and Family Stage will also feature local entertainment and contests like Fondy’s Got Talent. Immel says there are some new attractions this year as well including a dinosaur exhibit for kids. Meanwhile, Immel says he is confident the Fair Board will be able to pay off a $50,000 no-interest loan from the county before the end of the year. The Fair Board asked for the loan after losing money in 2012 and 2013. The Fair opens with the tractor pull Wednesday evening July 20th. A truck pull will be held Saturday afternoon and a horse pull on Sunday.
