Now that we’ve had a little time to rest and reflect on all the fun from last week, we want to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s McHenry County Fair so special!

To our vendors, volunteers, exhibitors, sponsors, first responders, and everyone who played a part in bringing the fair to life, we truly couldn’t do it without you.

We’re already looking forward to seeing you all again next year and continuing to make the McHenry County Fair something special for our community year after year.

Keep an eye out over the next week or two as we share some of the magic captured at this year’s fair!

Plan ahead, arrive early, bring a jacket, and let's watch some cars smash into each other!
