On Saturday, Aug. 6 Midwest Energy Cooperative brings Family Day back to the Cass County Fair.

The sponsorship supports the fair and local families by discounting gate admission and ride tickets to $1 from noon to 6 p.m. Most food vendors also offer a $1 Family Day special.

“The Cass County Fair is really a celebration of everything great about this rural area that we proudly serve and support,” says Patty Nowlin, Midwest director of communications and community relations. “We are honored to use this sponsorship to help make the fair experience affordable and accessible to more families, and just support the great work of our local fair.”

Midwest Connections is offering free Wi-Fi through the week, both on the midway and throughout the camping area. Flyers and signs will be distributed to help individuals connect, and members of Team Fiber will be on the midway during the Family Day festivities to answer questions and help interested individuals sign up for service.
