A chance to step into the cab of a front-end loader or grader, a kid’s work zone obstacle course, and “booze goggles” are just some of the attractions you’ll find at the Dakota County Government Building at this year’s Dakota County Fair. Dakota County is merging transportation, transit and fun with this year’s theme—“We get you there.”
Visit the Dakota County Government Building at the Dakota County Fair, Aug. 10–16 at the fairgrounds in Farmington. The building is open Monday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The government building is located on Third Street, just south of the flagpoles and southwest of the fair’s main parking area.
