Our View: Sandwich Fair a point of pride for the county

There’s a lot of history at the Sandwich Fair.

The oldest continuous county fair in Illinois is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. It has more than 28,000 exhibits – the most of any fair in Illinois. It also has a carnival, performers and all the trappings one expects at an old-fashioned county fair.

Also celebrating a milestone at the fair is Otto’s Train, a built-to-scale railroad train in its 60th year.
