Fairgrounds to host Second Harvest Mobile Food Pantry

Winter events at the Fairgrounds are rare due to the many challenges of plowing, plumbing and parking.  The Dodge County Fair Association has opened their doors free of charge to the Second Harvest Mobile Food Pantry on the second Saturday of each month.  Business owners throughout the community have been very supportive.  K&B Tree and Lawn Care of Beaver Dam has donated snow plowing and Environmental Specialists of Watertown will be providing portable toilets because the plumbing at the Fairgrounds is seasonal.

No pre-registration, ID or proof of residency is required. Use entrance on High Point Road from Hwy 33. Distribution takes place in shelter under the grandstand.
