The 2023 Clay County Fair is a wrap. Board Chairman Steve Waller thinks three huge days – including the last weekend – might make up for a couple of slower days caused by rain.

Despite growing up in South Dakota, it was fair CEO Jerome Hertel’s first experience seeing the fair himself.

Attendance figures may be released later this week, but Hertel says that’s only part of the story, however.

Initial indications are the fair was successful in all of those categories.
