Happy National 🐓 Month to all of our poultry farmers!
Did you know that in 2024 Illinois produced 1,910 MILLION eggs ?!?! 😮 As a top 20 egg producing state those chickens and other poultry keep our farmers busy. So make sure to make time this month to say thank you!

Happy Labor Day from everyone at the McHenry County Fair! We know this holiday is bittersweet as it feels like the final weekend of summer. But actually it just means it's time to hibernate and for our Fair Board to get busy planning the next McHenry County Fair.
See ya next summer!
