WOODSTOCK – It’s not exactly an amusement ride, but the exhibitors’ buildings at the McHenry County Fair offer a swarm of activity all their own.

The approximately 70 booths display a hodgepodge of causes from marketing local business to bee education to T-shirt sales. As in previous years, area businesses and organizations packed the two exhibitors’ buildings to grab the attention of grazing fair-goers.

“I think it’s a great opportunity to be recognized,” said Denise Reilly, who works in the fair’s office. “You have a lot of local people that come through here.”
