I went to the Sheep & Wool Festival and was impressed at the ease of parking, cleanliness, and organization of the grounds. I will be back!

Had a great time. Attended the Sheep and Wool Festival 2025. Beautiful area and had a lovely day.

There is so much to see at the Wisconsin Sheep amd Wool Festival. My feet were sore, lol. But a great selection of yarn, and so many breeds of sheep.
Monica Lucid
Great place to host animal events. I went to a combined driving event. I guess they have good water and you don't need to bring your own. And they have hookups where you can hose your horse off.

The Jefferson County Fair is such a fun part of summer around here. There’s always something going on—great music, animals, rides, food stands, and events for all ages. It brings a real energy to town, and we love seeing families and visitors enjoying everything the fair has to offer. It’s also a great deal. One admission covers everything, including all the shows and entertainment, which is hard to beat these days. We always recommend it to our customers—if you’re visiting Jefferson in July, the fair is a must!
