District 3, Scott Zirzow, Sauk County Fair
For more than 40 years, Scott has been a part of the Sauk County Fair, starting as a youth during his dad’s employment with the fair. After years of volunteering, Scott joined the board serving as Director, Vice-President, and currently is the President.
From garbage duty to building shelves, mowing the grounds to cleaning the restrooms, committee meetings, board meetings, and community meetings, Scott does it all.His dedication, attitude, work ethic and love of the fair have made a lasting impact on our fair, fairgoers, exhibitors, board, committees and the community our fair serves.
Scott doesn’t give up on anyone. Without hesitation he listens, gives advice and strengthens their ability to believe in themselves as they grow and soar in their service to the fair. Scott is well-known in the fair world and our community. His extreme passion and love for all things fair include enjoyable moments as fairgoers encounter the carnival, food, and entertainment. He loves watching exhibitors achieve a sense of accomplishment through exhibiting at the fair. He willingly takes on dirty jobs, late hours, meetings along with tough conversations and game time decisions. His commitment to the Sauk County Fair has earned him the Hall of Fame Award.
District 3, Kellie Zink, Sauk County Fair
For over 40 years, the Sauk County fair has benefited from Kellie Zink’s skills, dedication and passion. Our boards, superintendents, parents, exhibitors and each of our fair patrons have grown from her contributions. In the 80’s, she volunteered within the fair’s horse department, and then, for 20 years, became the Superintendent. She developed a program that led countless youth to become better horsemen.
Kellie retired after dedicating over 15 years of time and service as a secretary and then treasurer to the board. She continued to volunteer at the fair, assisting in the office, ticket booth, grandstand, or anywhere help was needed.
Her passion for coaching youth and sharing her knowledge led her to return as a horse project leader. Kellie’s patience and ability to connect has helped many exhibitors grow and improve.
Over the past year, Kellie’s volunteerism was called upon to assist the board in the transition of a new treasurer. Her guidance, for the new officer and the board, has resulted in a stronger financial understanding and direction for the fair. She is valued for her knowledge and willingness to give of her time and energy. Always with a smile, she builds confidence with kindness and a steady demeanor and has made the Sauk County Fair a better place for each of us.

Today, many BSTP pulling vehicles are considered top contenders across the country. The organization offers 16 different pulling classes and provides high-quality grandstand entertainment at eight county fairs during our fair season in Wisconsin, along with other events throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa, and even winter indoor pulls in Kentucky and Illinois.
Beyond the track, BSTP continues to demonstrate its dedication to fairs by consistently supporting the Fairest of the Fair Auction at convention through active bidding and purchasing. Their generosity during the convention and their involvement at our fairs play a meaningful role in supporting our fair traditions.
We extend our sincere thanks to Badger State Tractor Pullers for all they do to support our fairs and our industry. Their ongoing commitment and generosity are truly appreciated.

A service animal is any dog service that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether domestic, trained or untrained are not considered service animals.
The Department of Justice issued ADA regulations which cover Title II (state and local government programs) and Title III (places of public accommodation, such as restaurants or retail merchants) which took effect March 15, 2011. These regulations revise the definition of service animal and add additional provisions.
Is this animal required because of a disability?
What work or task has this animal been trained to perform?
The Sauk County Agricultural Society, Inc. adheres to all ADA regulations covering service animals.
If possible, please check in at the office with rabies certificate as required by Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection requires fairs to keep rabies vaccination records for all animals on their grounds during the fair dates.
