The Kids from Wisconsin group was conceived and developed in 1969 by the Wisconsin State Fair Board to show the nation the best face of Wisconsin's youth following the turbulence of the ’60s. More than 400 young entertainers were auditioned, and 60 achieved positions in the first edition of the Kids from Wisconsin. Since, nearly 700 young artists have participated in the program with many going on to excel as performers, music educators, college professors, entertainers, choreographers and top professionals in a wide variety of fields.
Today, the Kids from Wisconsin ensemble performs at county fairs, festivals and conventions throughout the continent. The musical revue has helped raise thousands of dollars for worthy charitable organizations. The Kids from Wisconsin group maintains a demanding schedule each summer, performing 65 to 70 shows during the months of June, July and August. For more information see www.kidsfromwisconsin.org.
