What do local, popular gas stations, an education facility and a food packing facility all have in common? Three local companies have invested in local families by supporting free family entertainment stages throughout the Dodge County Fairgrounds this season. Families will enjoy free entertainment August 14-18, thanks to the support of Richelieu Foods, Kwik Trip and Moraine Park Technical College.

Nick’s Kids Show will be providing three family-friendly shows each day of the 2019 fair season, thanks to Kwik Trip.
