County fair board reports steady 4‑H participation and grant‑funded accessibility improvements
Summary
Fair Board representative Curt Madsen told commissioners the Lincoln County Fair "went very well and weather was good," open‑class entries were slightly down, 4‑H participation was steady, and USDA and other grants funded accessibility and arena improvements.
Curt Madsen, representing the Lincoln County Fair Board, gave the Board an update on the recent county fair. He said the fair "went very well and weather was good," reported that open‑class entries were down slightly while 4‑H projects were steady, and noted account balances were roughly the same as the prior year.
Madsen described grant‑funded improvements including cementing outside the show arena pens to improve access for wheelchairs and strollers and expansion of the auction area paid for with grant dollars from an organization in Tyler. He said a manure removal system may be considered next year and that some electrical improvements on the south side of the fairgrounds are planned through the city but may require fair funds or county assistance.
