Check Out the Infamous Whiskey Wall!

 The Steele Saloon wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of our Whiskey Wall donors. Their support helped bring this one-of-a-kind space to life on the fairgrounds giving fairgoers a place to relax, connect, and raise a glass all week long.


While you're here, be sure to check out the Whiskey Wall inside the Saloon! It's a tribute to the community spirit (and spirits!) that made this place possible.


From all of us at the Steele County Free Fair:

Thank you for being part of the spirit behind the Saloon!
