The Wisconsin Valley Fair has around 150 Open Class exhibitors each year! The Open Class department is made up of young and young-at-heart participants that work on improving their skills in related projects throughout the year. The purpose of the department is for exhibitors of all ages to display their accomplished goals and projects, and get feedback from state-licensed judges to improve for the future. The Wisconsin Valley Fair is a state-aided fair, which regulates the how places are awarded, and the amount of premiums given out.
