FDL County Fair Begins Wednesday
An official with the Fond du Lac County Fair says lining up the main musical acts for the Fair takes timing and a little luck. Mattel Immel is the Treasurer of the Fair Board. He says Friday night’s Grandstand acts are a trio of well-known Rock and Roll acts. Orleans, the GuessWho, and Rare Earth will all perform mini-concerts. Immel says the show will run about 2 ½ hours. “It will be kind of a neat opportunity right here in your backyard in Fond du Lac to get three acts with songs that lots of people from different generations know and love so we’re excited about that one.” Saturday Country Star Brett Young will perform. Immel says they lined Young up last fall and has had three or four hit songs since then. For more about the Fond du Lac County Fair go to their website.

Tour de Ripon Reaches Halfway Point
TheTour de Ripon bicycling event is now at its halfway point. It’s not a race, but a summer long event which allows participants to bicycle the area and stop at the participating 21 sponsors who will have prizes such as free food and other items for them. Organizer P.J. Christopherson says they are pleased with the increased sponsorship this year. “Our participation was about the same as last year, but I think the biggest win for this year was really increasing the awareness and actually having businesses reach out to me and say this is something we would like to be part of. So I can tell that the word is starting to get out there in the second year.” The $10 registration fee gets you a t-shirt, which you need to pick up the prizes and lists the participating sponsors. He says they are also asking people to donate a canned good when they sign up, which will go to the Ripon Food Pantry. Sign up continues through August. You can sign up at Advanced Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine at 402 Eureka Street in Ripon or the Ripon Area Chamber of Commerce.
