Waukesha - More than 120,000 visitors stopped by the 169th Waukesha County Fair held July 20-24 at the county Expo Grounds, the fair announced Thursday.
Evening attendance numbers were "impressive," according to fair officials who credit the high attendance to the Miller Lite Main Stage acts, which included the Beach Boys, Ted Nugent, Creedence Clearwater Revisited and Collective Soul.
The 2011 attendance of 121,441 compares with 97,246 in 2010, when torrential rainfall hampered fair attendance, and 132,097 in 2009.
The fair is the oldest county fair in Wisconsin and the largest event in the county, according to the fair's website.
