Welcome to YOUR Grant County Fair
WOW-2016 Fair is here already. Some things
that have been going on at YOUR Grant County
Fairgrounds in this last year are so hard on my
heart. I can’t even begin to remember Fair from
2015 without my heart going out to all those
families that were affected by the Canyon Creek
Complex Fires. On the positive side of all this is
the support the community received for the Fire
Relief Center that was in the Pavilion on YOUR
Fairgrounds. My team, consisting of Dusty
Williams, Mindy Winegar and so many volun-
teers made it possible to help support the com-
munity with funds and needed items. I am over-
whelmed with PRIDE in our community for all
that we were able to do.
Now onto the fun things going on. We have
received the grants needed to get a Public
Address System for the total grounds along with
three Electronic Reader Boards. These will be in-
stalled sometime after Fair of 2016 and will
make a great addition to our grounds. Please
notice the new asphalt that the Road Department,
Grant County Fair and your County Court has
provided to improve the safety on our grounds.
YOUR Grant County Fair Board will be out
on grounds all during FAIR sporting their new
FAIR vests. The Fair Staff and Board are com-
mitted to making YOUR Fair a great experience
and are always open to suggestions. We are
always in need of more volunteers and would
love to have YOU.
Lots of changes for YOUR Fair this year. We
are sad to say that with the cost of the NPRA
Rodeo, and us not being able to charge enough
to cover the cost of it, we will not be having it
this year... But here is what we will have for you:
carnival, headliner, Sammy Kershaw, team
branding, bull fighting, four different music
venues, a hypnotist, Survivor Games (we added
another station), dunk tank, more vendors, ex-
hibits, animals, and Benny the Beaver is back.
So much fun for everyone.
Let’s all work together to make our
Fairgrounds the show place for Grant County.
We can’t say thank you enough to all our great
sponsors and volunteers. YOU make it happen.
