Meet Ian Horning with I.A.Media! 👋

I am excited to be joining the Waukesha County Fair this year as the official Action Center Photographer for the 184th running of the Fair!

🎡 Being born and raised in Waukesha County, the Fair has always been a yearly tradition with many memories made since childhood. I am very happy to have the chance to capture some of the memories for those behind the wheel and in the bleachers!

📸 I've always have had an interest in photography since I was a teenager but started practicing more in 2021 when I started shooting Drift events at USAir in Shawano, WI with ClubFR and other groups that have put on events there. I have also had the opportunity to be a photographer for Gridlife and FinalBout over the last few years.

🛠️ When not working my M-F, editing photos or at the race track you'll find me in the garage tinkering on one of my projects or out on one of my motorcycles finding some new backroads. 🏍️

🏁 Be sure to say hi if you see Ian! We’re so grateful for his time & talent to capture this year’s high-octane events!

🐑 Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Sheep Clinic at Kurth Farms!

Young exhibitors spent the evening building their showmanship skills, practicing how to properly set their sheep up on the stand, keep their heads up, position their feet, and maintain control while working in a confined space. These foundational skills help build confidence and prepare exhibitors for success in the show ring this July.

This is just a small glimpse of the hard work, dedication, and countless hours our youth invest long before Fair week arrives!

There are still a few approved livestock clinics remaining before the 184th Waukesha County Fair.
