Fair director: new Square point-of-sale for fair gates, fees passed to purchasers; trunk-or-treat planned Oct. 31
Summary
Fair director Justine Holline told the board the fair will accept card payments via Square (processing fee 2.6% + $0.15 passed to customers), will use the POS for facility rentals, and plans a car show and trunk-or-treat on Oct. 31 with candy provided by Freeport.
Justine Holline, the fair director, told supervisors the county will accept debit and credit card payments at the fair gates using Square; processing fees are 2.6% plus 15 cents and the county plans to pass those fees on to purchasers. "So the processing fee for that would be 28¢, totaling $5.28," she said by way of example for a $5 admission ticket.
Holline also outlined operational benefits (offline storage of transactions if Wi-Fi drops) and said the county will use the same POS for facility rentals and online payments. She announced an Oct. 31 car show and trunk-or-treat (vendors and carnival set up for cards/cash) with candy provided by Freeport and invited supervisors to upcoming fair preparations.
