This year, Kane County will celebrate its 141st annual fair, a perennial don’t-miss summer event for its low prices and diverse activities for the whole family. Larry Breon, who has served as President of the Board of the Kane County Fair for the past 15 years, looks forward to the fair each summer as an ongoing tradition people continue to enjoy and come back for year after year.
