The Baraga County Fair, an annual event for everything from cows and horses to mudding and magic. Growing and changing from year to year, the county fair has always been a great way to spend a weekend of entertainment for people near and far. Held in its annual location just before the old Pelkie Schoolhouse in Pelkie between the dates of Aug. 3 and Aug. 6, 2023, the fair brought large crowds and provided quality fun. The fair officially began on Thursday with the arrival of small animals in an animal building where they were judged, followed by an interview of county queen candidates.
