Best Event of the Past Year

For more than 35 years, the Irvine Park Christmas Lights in Chippewa Falls have lit up area residents’ lives every holiday season. After having to take 2020 off, the Northern Wisconsin State Fair returned with a boom and had one its best years yet. Nearly a week of music, rides, and delicious food made for a memorable time. Helping to bolster the agricultural community across the Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin Farm Technology Days 2021, hosted by Huntsinger Farms outside Eau Claire, offered a fun and informative time. — Parker Reed
