Happy first day of fall! What better way to soak in the season then with a homemade apple pie, like this "Winning Apple Pie" recipe from The Farmer's Almanac. Full recipe in the comments.

Think you got a better recipe? Share it with us. Better yet, bring it to The McHenry County Fair next year and compete in our Foods exhibition — open to all ages and types of bakers!

Happy National 🐓 Month to all of our poultry farmers!

Did you know that in 2024 Illinois produced 1,910 MILLION eggs ?!?! 😮 As a top 20 egg producing state those chickens and other poultry keep our farmers busy. So make sure to make time this month to say thank you!

Happy Labor Day from everyone at the McHenry Count

Happy Labor Day from everyone at the McHenry County Fair! We know this holiday is bittersweet as it feels like the final weekend of summer. But actually it just means it's time to hibernate and for our Fair Board to get busy planning the next McHenry County Fair.

My first McHenry County Fair! Little Gentry exper

My first McHenry County Fair!

Little Gentry experienced his first McHenry County Fair this year. He LOVED the tractors from @ahw_llc and made friends in the Goat Barn. Not a big surprise since his mom has worked with goats at the fair for years, and now she gets to pass the "fair magic" onto her son:

"Creating these memories with him at the McHenry County fair means so much to me and brings me back to my childhood as I’ve been attending the fair every year since I was a kid!"

Thanks for sharing Gentry with us, Mom!

Do YOU remember yours or your kids first McHenry County Fair? Tell us about those "first fair" memories.

We'd like to take a moment to thank this year's sponsors. Without them the 2025 McHenry County Fair wouldn't be possible. Thank you all for your contributions.

Say "Awwwwhhh!" 🥹🥰 Thank you McHenry County Fair

Say "Awwwwhhh!" 🥹🥰

Thank you McHenry County Fairgoer, Steve Grimes, for capturing this sweet moment. Steve also had these wonderful things to say about this year's Fair:

"My family and I had a wonderful time at the Fair, and this [🧑‍🌾&🐄] was just a small part of it, but big in other ways. Thank you.

📸 We're still looking through our photos from last week. Post photos to your story and tag @mchenrycountyfair or send them to us directly to have them posted on our page – with 📸 credit of course! We love to see the memories you created at the one and only McHenry County Fair!

…and just like that the 2025 McHenry County Fair

...and just like that the 2025 McHenry County Fair comes to an end. Thank you to all those who came out. At first glance the McHenry County Fair looks like 6 days of carnival rides, food, and entertainment. But it's actually a year of planning, work, anticipation, and hope that we can give this community a fun-filled week it deserves.

And we can't wait to start the process all over again just for you, McHenry County.

See ya next summer!
