Narrative:
I was flying with a student practicing some maneuvers when on the way back to microphone (crystal airport) my student requested doing a touch and go at ane (anoka county airport). I agreed. Ane is an uncontrolled airport with no control tower. After flying into ane, I discovered that they were having a fly-in and thinking to myself, why isn't there anyone talking on the radio. After the flight, I learned that there was a temporary control tower set up just for the fly-in. In other words, I flew into an airport with an operating control tower. I believe someone should have been monitoring the published unicom that could have informed me of the event taking place and that a temporary control tower was set-up for the event. I reported inbound 10 mi out and if someone could have responded on the published unicom frequency. I would not have flown in without contacting the temporary control tower. (Nor would I agree to go in to do a touch and go with an event in progress.)
