Racine County fair kicks off with animals, rides, tractors, & 4-H fun

Union Grove (CBS 58)--If it’s a Wednesday in July, chances are a county fair is starting somewhere across the Badger System.  This week, it’s Racine’s turn.  Livestock, food, rides fun.  And tractor pulls in the grandstand.

I had the chance to ride a tractor for my first time to get a feel of the track.  Didn't too bad.  Drove it like a stick shift.  But if you want to see the real pros do it, head to the fair this evening.  A hundred trucks and tractors will compete with thousands packing the stands. 

There are a few new attractions this year, including ATV races Thursday night and a Bengal tiger exhibit. The Racine County Fair runs through Sunday. For all the events you'll see at this particular county fair, just click here.
