The Budweiser Clydesdales were in attendance. They were housed in a barn near the Avenue of Flags on the fairgrounds. On various days, there were Full Hitch Parades where fair attendees could see the horses in action.
This year’s butter cow sculpture at the fair featured a person holding a walking stick and looking through binoculars, with the fair’s theme “Adventure Awaits” carved into the back of her shirt.
