Throughout the week, you will see an increased presence of Whiteside County Sheriff’s Deputies at the fairgrounds. Our deputies will be patrolling the grounds, visiting with fairgoers, and working alongside fair officials and other public safety personnel to help provide a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.
The Whiteside County Fair is a great tradition that brings families, friends, and visitors from throughout our county and surrounding communities together. Whether you are coming for the livestock shows, grandstand events, carnival rides, exhibits, or just some good fair food, there is always something to enjoy.
With the additional traffic and large crowds throughout the week, we ask everyone to use a little extra patience and caution. Please watch for pedestrians, especially children, when driving in and around the fairgrounds. Remember to secure your vehicles and personal belongings, and if you see something that doesn’t look right, please say something to a deputy or fair official.
While you are at the fair, please stop by the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office stand and say hello. Our deputies and staff always enjoy the opportunity to visit with the people we serve. Community interaction is an important part of what we do, and the fair gives us a great opportunity to meet people in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.
Have a great week at the Fair, and we’ll see you there!
Sheriff John F. Booker
Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office
