Spirits up at Northern Wisconsin State Fair despite soggy start
Most of the people we talked with say no matter the amount of rain it won't dampen their spirits.

Thousands of people headed out to the Northern Wisconsin State Fair Wednesday looking for a fun ride or some good food. Others were looking to hear some live music but everyone there got treated to a little of Mother Nature.
Most of the people we talked with say no matter the amount of rain it won't dampen their spirits. Some of the people enjoying the fair even say the rain was a welcome sight.
No matter what people we're looking for at the fair, whether it was a ride,
“Some of them are scary and it's a rush of adrenaline, it’s really fun," said one girl.
Or it was the food,
"I already got a foot long corn dog," said one man.
Most of the people at the fair say a little rain wasn't going to get in their way.
"We have our grandson here from Minnesota and this is what he came for…we brought the umbrellas, we're ready," said another fan of the fair.
Around six Wednesday night clouds started to gather over the Northern Wisconsin State Fair Grounds in Chippewa Falls and a short time later, it started to pour.
“It's our only day off so we've got to make the most of it," said one woman.
“I took my shirt off and used it as an umbrella for her (pointing to his girlfriend) so I was the hero today," said another man.
Some people even say the rain is a big relief.
"We actually have animals here at the fair, my girls do so the rain is really good for them because it cools the barns down a little bit," said one mom.
“This really makes it better…because it's fun in the rain so now I’m all wet so it's like a water park," said another little girl.
For the first day of the fair people say they're going to make the best of the night.
"I'm still looking for a good pork chop on a stick. If I can find one of those my night will be golden," said another man.
People running the fair say it will go on in the rain. A few rides were shutdown for a little bit but organizers say the food and fun will still go on. During the storm they were hoping for it to move out in time for the music. The rain did eventually clear and the main acts got on stage.
Admission for the fair is seven dollars for adults and three dollars for kids. Children under six get in free.
