The fair ran from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but turned into a ghost town around 3, right before the Packers kicked-off. “You know I think we all have got some green and gold in our blood,” said organizer Bonnie Adams who has been in charge of the fair for the past 15 years. She also is responsible for doubling the number of vendors in the past couple years. Moneys raised help purchase sports equipment, uniforms, an athletic trainer, team banquets to say the least.
