Harvest Fair Sept. 27-29 at Wisconsin State Fair Park [Video]

LOOK FOR THE BEST DEALS. KRISTIN: IT WILL BE A BUSY WEEKEND AT WISCONSIN STATE FAIR PARK. HARVEST FEST RETURNS WITH SOMETHING NEW. WHAT IS NEW? ANIMAL RACES. >> WE HAVE NEW THINGS TO KEEP UPDATED FOR HARVEST FAIR. WE HAVE ANIMAL RACES, DUCKS, GOATS, AND PIGS MORE THAN THE STATE FAIR. IT IS A SUPERFUND FREE ACTIVITY ALONG WITH PONY CYCLES.

CREAM PUFF KIDS. >> THE CREAMPUFF PAVILION IS UNDER RENOVATION. WE ARE EXCITED TO LAUNCH NEW ONE NEXT YEAR SHOULD YOU GET ALL OF THE PIECES TO MAKE A CREAM PUFF. YOU FILL THEM YOURSELF. YOU CAN DO IT AT THE FAIR OR TAKE THEM HOME. KRISTIN: WHAT ELSE CAN PEOPLE EXPECT? >> THE SAME ENTERTAINMENT THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE FAIR PARK INCLUDING NINE VENDOR STAGES, PUMPKIN BOWLING, AND MAKE YOUR OWN SCARECROW AND OTHER ACTIVITIES.

KRISTIN: WHAT ABOUT FAMILIES? >> WE SEE FAMILIES OF ALL AGES COME TOGETHER, OLDER KIDS, YOUNGER KIDS, THEY LOVE PLAYING IN THE STRAW. THAT I
