Dresden Fair Celebrates 140 Years

The Dresden Exhibition celebrates 140 years this weekend.

Alisha VanEsse, director with the Dresden Ag Society, says it all starts with the tractor pull on Friday night.

"On Saturday we have the demo derby, which is really exciting. Then we have a lot of our livestock, including the cattle show and the horse show and mutton busting," says VanEsse. "Then on Sunday, we have the celebration of the 140th year, and then we close it off on Monday with the final horse race."
