As fairgoers put another Central Montana Fair in the memory bank, the heat might be at the forefront. But, most are sure to remember this year by just how much fun they had, too.
According to the Fergus County Facilities and Events Office Manager Rhonda Trask, just under 24,000 people walked through the gates between Tuesday and Saturday, which is on par with 2021.
“Last year was just over 24,000,” said Trask. “I think people came early and stayed or came after they quit counting for the day, [which would increase this year’s number].”
