DE PERE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The only way you’ll usually see an alligator in Wisconsin is at the zoo.
That’s exactly the reason Brown County brought a show of them to its fair.
“We try to always bring in a new animal act,” said Steve Corrigan, the president of the Brown County Fair Association, tells WLUK.
“Every year we change it and we always try to bring something that is not common in Wisconsin or Brown County.
David Castillo, of Kachunga and The Alligator Show, has been touring with gators for 28 years.
“We started taking the gators around to clear up myths and concerns. It kind of grew into a show that we produce now.”
The show is based on education, but is presented with entertainment.
“I liked it,” said Jessica Martin of Green Bay.
“It was really interesting. It was nice seeing something different in Green Bay.”
“What is good about it is if someone here plans on taking a trip down south, they know not to feed the gators, they know not to play with the babies, just basic awareness,” said Castillo.
There are four alligators with the show. People can hold one of two smaller gators and get their picture taken for $10.
The gator show is at the Brown County Fair through Sunday and runs three times each day.
