MONROE — This year’s 2023 Green County Fair is being hosted by the Fairest of the Fair: Miah Roth and the Green County Fairgrounds. The weekend festivities will take place Wednesday through Sunday, July 19-23. 

With much anticipation for the attractions new and old, “It’s going to be nice seeing the support from the community,” said Jake Trickel, the new Demo Derby Promoter who shares gratitude. This weekend there are many events that recognize and show support to the individuals and teams that protect and serve our community. 

To kick off the weekend, there will be a Veteran’s-only dinner Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. at the Hospitality Tent. The Bulls & Barrels event will also be held on Wednesday (7 p.m.). Tractor pulls at the grandstand will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, the grandstands will host dirt bike and 4-wheeler races, and the Demo Derby is at 5 p.m. Sunday.

Some new events that are being highlighted on the schedule are the Dirt Bike & 4-Wheeler Races Saturday from 4-6 p.m. and the Brew City All-Star heavyweight wrestling show on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Mayer Transport Show Barn.

Another new feature to the fair is that, with a wrist band, individuals 21 and up may drink alcohol openly on the fairgrounds.
