McHenry County Fair Offers Something for Everyone

The McHenry County Fair offers animals, action and attractions.





Kids laughing and screeching combined with music and sounds from the carnival rides brought the McHenry County Fair to life on Thursday afternoon. 

Parents, children and teens packed the carnival midway during the specially-priced wristband hours. 

Surprisingly, a walk over to the animal barns proved more peaceful - as many of the pigs, sheep, goats, cows and other animals were quietly napping off the afternoon hours. 

The 2013 McHenry County Fair opened on Wednesday and runs through Sunday, Aug. 4. More information about this year's attractions, shows, carnival hours, and animal activities is available on the McHenry County Fair website.
