The more things change, the more they stay the same for attendees and exhibitors at the Door County Fair. The annual rite of summer opens to the public Wednesday, with exhibitors heading to John Miles County Park on Monday and Tuesday to pick up their exhibit tags. A lot has changed for Door County Fair Board President Tom Ash, who exhibited at the fair as a boy before helping his own children and eventually joining the fair board alongside his brothers and other family members. He says the county fair is about family, friends and celebrating the end of summer together. Play AudioThe Door County Fair runs Aug. 12-16.
