Dodge County Fairgrounds Receives $3,735.61 Boost from Piggly Wiggly "Round-Up" Campaign

The Dodge County Fair Association is thrilled to announce the successful completion of the March "Round Up at the Register" campaign, hosted by Fox Brothers Piggly Wiggly stores in Beaver Dam and Mayville. Thanks to the incredible generosity of local shoppers and the dedicated support of Fox Brothers staff, the initiative raised a fantastic total of $3,735.61 to support ongoing improvements at the Dodge County Fairgrounds.



A check presentation recently took place to mark the occasion. Tyia Kemnitz, Store Director of the Mayville location, proudly presented the donation to Sharon Keil, Fair Association Treasurer, and Dale Norenberg, Fair Association Vice President.

"We are deeply grateful to Fox Brothers Piggly Wiggly and everyone in the Beaver Dam and Mayville communities who chose to round up their change this March," said Sharon Keil. "Every cent of this contributes directly to keeping our fairgrounds a safe, vibrant, and modern space for families to gather."

Investing in Our Community’s Future

The Dodge County Fairgrounds are maintained entirely by the nonprofit Dodge County Fair Association. Unlike municipal parks, the fairgrounds rely heavily on community donations, sponsorships, and fundraisers like the Round-Up campaign to fund essential upkeep and capital improvements.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Fair Association has developed a robust, long-term improvement plan. The funds raised during the March campaign will be directly funneled into these projects, ensuring the fairgrounds can continue to serve as a premier regional event venue that supports:

  • Youth Education: Providing facilities for 4-H, FFA, and other youth-centered agricultural and educational programs.
  • Community Events: Hosting a diverse calendar of events, from local fundraisers to the annual Dodge County Fair.
  • Local Commerce: Drawing visitors to the region, which helps support neighboring small businesses.


A Heartfelt Thank You

The Dodge County Fair Association extends its sincerest thanks to Tyia Kemnitz and the entire Fox Brothers Piggly Wiggly team for providing this platform, and to the warm-hearted customers of Beaver Dam and Mayville who proved once again that small change can make a massive difference.

There is no place quite like the Wisconsin summer festival circuit to experience the raw power of classic rock under the open sky, and this August, the ultimate live music tradition returns to the Moraine Park Main Stage. The Dodge County Fair Association is thrilled to announce that rock and roll icons George Thorogood and The Destroyers will perform on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at 8:00 PM. Fresh off a massive 2025 where they played nearly 90 explosive shows, were honored by the GRAMMY Museum, and saw George’s famed “Bad To The Bone” Gibson ES-125TDC guitar placed on permanent exhibit at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the band is extending The Baddest Show on Earth Tour into 2026. With 53 years of “playing rock & roll hot enough to melt the polar icecaps,” Thorogood and his long-time bandmates—Jeff Simon, Bill Blough, Jim Suhler, and Buddy Leach—are bringing a “renewed taste for danger” to Beaver Dam. 50+ Years of Rock & Roll Party With more than 15 million albums sold and over 8,000 live shows performed, The Destroyers have earned their reputation as “The All-American rock & roll party band”. Fans can expect a “stage-shaking, roof-raising” setlist featuring the hits that made them cornerstones of Classic Rock:
