Fairboard reports negative cash flow; board to revisit support options
Summary
A fairboard representative said the 2026 fairgrounds operations are running a negative cash flow; the board and fairboard agreed to return in two weeks for a formal discussion on possible assistance and operational changes.
A fairboard representative told the board the fairgrounds were operating in a negative cash flow year to date, noting sponsorships were on par with previous years but that night events typically lose money. "We are operating in a negative cash flow," the presenter said, and explained the board would meet with supervisors at an upcoming budgeting meeting to explore options.
Supervisors discussed potential ways to help, including cleaning or repurposing buildings, and agreed to schedule a follow-up meeting in the coming weeks to consider formal actions. No funding decisions were made at the meeting; staff said they could return with more detailed proposals and financial breakdowns.
