Fairgrounds events reported as successful; organizers note deposits, outstanding fees and signage needs

Angie briefed the commission on recent fairground events and revenue. "The cowboy mounting shooting went really well," she said, reporting organizers collected $875 from that event. She said the mule clinic brought in $600 that was deposited, and an additional $70 came from a cowbell donation; she noted the cowboy shooters still owed $200.

The discussion covered practical fairgrounds management questions: Angie and other participants asked about making signs to restrict camping and horses near the compost pit, considered materials (metal signs with wood framing), and debated whose phone number should be listed for inquiries. Speakers suggested contacting the sheriff's office or Reed at the extension office for assistance, though Reed's office was described as unable to act on fairgrounds matters directly. Angie also recapped that RV hookups (electrical and water) cost $40 per night and reported that some users were unaware the hookups were available.

Why this matters: event revenue and clear signage affect fairground operations, safety and user experience; identifying a reliable contact for bookings and enforcement could reduce confusion.
