OZAUKEE COUNTY FAIR CONLEY MEDIA 10 JULY 2023 By Kay Dahlke Special to Conley Media CEDARBURG — Some like to check out the live- stock, some like the creativ- ity of 4-H, others come for the speed and crashes of the demo derby and still others come for the thrills of the midway. But a time-honored fea- ture of every county fair are the music stages, and this year's Ozaukee County Fair will not disappoint. Sing along with contem- porary music, cover bands, country and hard rock. You'll find your feet'll be stomping and your hands can't stop clapping with this year's music lineup.
