Fair managers outline projects and plan to buy new snowplow

Fair Manager Mindy Winegar and Dusty Williams updated the Budget Committee on multiple ongoing projects at the fairgrounds and said plans include acquiring a new snowplow to support grounds maintenance. Committee discussion referenced capital outlay and equipment lines for the fair budget.

Budget lines discussed included capital outlay and grant revenue, and the committee reviewed cash-on-hand and contingency items for the Fair and Fair Reserve. No formal vote was recorded on the snowplow purchase during this meeting; staff will continue to refine capital-outlay requests in the next budget draft.

Why it matters: the fairgrounds host community events and capital decisions affect local recreation and tourism infrastructure.
