We need your help!

For this year's "We've Got Your Back Campaign," we are once again hoping to send 100 care packages to members of our Wisconsin Army National Guard...but we need YOU to help us with notes of support, pictures from kids, etc!

The gifts in these packages are wonderful, but it's the personal touch from all of you that makes them truly memorable! ❤️

Will you take a minute or two to help us? You can find a printable template right here!

We just received the first USDA Farmers to Families shipment of food containing dairy and meat products totaling over 8,000 LBS! Like the name describes, this food was directly purchased from farmers in order to help families in need. Couldn't think of a better way to kick off June #DairyMonth! 🐄🧀🥛

THANK YOU Chippewa Falls Police Department! ❤

If you would like to help celebrate the Chi-Hi Class of 2020, tune in to our sister station, WOGO 103.1FM, at 6:30 tonight!

Congratulations Class of 2020!

We want a safe and fun event for these seniors as they collect their well-earned diplomas.

Our officers will be out there to help make this a safe event tonight and to join the community in congratulating our graduates. Please use common sense and stay safe in your vehicles and along the route. Keep in mind that this is a processional, not a parade for a reason and that reason is safety. All of the rules of the road are still in place.

*Note* Vehicles in the procession may be allowed to move through intersections along the route that have volunteers or officers there without stopping. The school has volunteers in traffic vests all along the route. You won't get lost.

The route is several miles long. If you are going to go watch it in person, please be respectful of others and keep a social distance of 6 feet between family groups. If you are concerned about COVID-19, please consider wearing a mask.

You are able to join in celebration remotely by listening to WOGO radio at 103.1FM and watch the processional on Cardinal TV https://ensemble.cesa10.k12.wi.us/app/Portal/video.aspx?PortalID=a37326ca-8e6d-4cda-84ba-0c4386546175&DestinationID=9d4e5178-ae62-4844-85a4-ad7dc1ec1721&IsLivePreview=False&ContentID=B9ENiONgM02E3lQR67FFvg&fbclid=IwAR2zM6Ekp1Cb_uKIUYFRjCjlbqpWptMLLsF6gCpxGHed3r3BWEOWDKVmvKw

Northern Wisconsin State Fair Cancelled!

For the first time in its nearly 123-year history, the Northern Wisconsin State Fair (NWSF) will not go on as planned. Essential to this year’s preparations are the directives of county, state, national and international health agencies, and the ever-evolving COVID-19 pandemic we find ourselves in.

Due to the limitations placed on large public gatherings in terms of logistics, size, and first and foremost, the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, vendors, fair-goers, exhibitors and their families, we have made the very difficult decision to postpone the 2020 NWSF previously slated for July 8-12. We are now working harder than ever to prepare for the 2021 NWSF scheduled for July 7-11 with this year’s Main Stage entertainment already locked in for the new year at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in Chippewa Falls.

2021 Main Stage Lineup:
• Wednesday, July 7th: Trace Adkins
• Thursday, July 8th: Hairball
• Friday, July 9th: LANCO
• Saturday, July 10th: Grand Funk Railroad and Blue Öyster Cult

For 2020 NWSF Ticketholders:
• Your 2020 Advance Ticket is Good for 2021
o If you purchased a Main Stage ticket these tickets will be good for 2021: Trace Adkins (July 7th), Hairball (July 8th), LANCO (July 9th), and Grand Funk Railroad and Blue Oyster Cult (July 10th)
o If you purchased a General Fair Admission ticket these will be good for 2021 (If you purchased a 5-day wristband it will be good July 7-11, 2021 and if you purchased a One-Day ticket it will be valid for the day you select for 2021)

We will be hosting a virtual tribute on the NWSF website during the week of the originally scheduled 2020 NWSF, July 8-12, to shine a spotlight on all those that truly make this event “A Family Affair.” From exhibitors to sponsors, and everyone in between, our hope is to unite our community and spread some joy through the virtual fair. Everyone is invited and we welcome you to stay up-to-date here and on our website for further updates on the virtual fair.

If you would like to contribute to this tribute by sending a picture of you and your exhibit (or just the exhibit) - you can still be a part of the show: https://www.nwsfa.com/p/northern-wisconsin-state-fair/tribute-to-the-2020-fair

This would have been the 123rd year of the Northern Wisconsin State Fair serving the Chippewa Valley. Each year the fair offers a plethora of family-fun activities and big-name artists known across the world. From agriculture, to food, carnival rides and games, educational exhibits, vendor shows, and more, the Northern Wisconsin State Fair is truly a “Family Affair.”

Like many other industries, the Fair and Festival industry has taken a severe financial hit because of this unprecedented pandemic. To keep the Fair alive, the Northern Wisconsin State Fair Association is reaching out to its community for any donations that can be made. If you are interested in donating, please find more information here: https://www.nwsfa.com/p/donate/donate

The NWSF Office is closed to the public. To make things easier, please use email ([email protected]) as a first option for any general questions on events, questions about tickets or if you are looking for a job during the 2021 NWSF. You can also call the office at 715-723-2861 Ext 101 and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please check our website and stay tuned here to our page for continuing updates.

As always, we are working closely with Chippewa County Health Department, City of Chippewa Falls, Chippewa Falls PD, and Fire and Emergency Services on safety and social distancing requirements for events. Our goal is to slowly bring back events at the Fairgrounds for our community to enjoy. Stay tuned to ever changing developments through this pandemic.

Together we will get through this.
