Fair Association asks Macon County for security, Wi‑Fi and lighting improvements; board requests cost estimates

Dec 10, 2025

The Macon County Fair Association requested roughly $22,000 (plus $3,000 burial of wiring) for a security camera system, better Wi‑Fi for vendors, and discussed LED lighting upgrades; commissioners asked for more detailed quotes and timing.

The full story

Dennis Conley, co‑chair of the Macon County Fair Association, and Jamie Brooks of the county horse association told commissioners the fairgrounds recently invested in a new horse arena but need a security system, buried wiring and in‑building Wi‑Fi so vendors can accept electronic payments. The associations said a basic security and camera setup would cost about $20,000; burying wiring from the Alumni Building to camera locations would add about $3,000.
