The LaPorte County Fair opens July 9. But planning for grandstand entertainment for next year s fair already started earlier this spring, or some 15 months ahead of the 2023 event.
LAPORTE â Olivia Penix, of Hanna, admits her obsession with the Budweiser Clydesdales.
Penix has seen them twice, including at the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis, Missouri, and so it was only natural that she would travel to the LaPorte County Fair on Saturday to see them once again. I had to come for the Clydesdales, Penix said, snapping photo after photo on her cellphone.
The eight Budweiser Clydesdales, hitched to the famous red, white and gold beer wagon, were the hit of the opening day of the state s oldest county fair, according to fair officials and comments from fairgoers. They are gorgeous. This is my first time seeing them and I just had to come and see them. I have horses at home so this is more adoration for them than anything, Valparaiso resident Anita Schumacher said.
