The Madison County Ag Society is seeking information regarding recent damage done at the Madison County Fairgrounds.

​Our fairgrounds are a valuable space for our community, families, and youth organizations, and keeping our facilities safe, clean, and operational takes significant work and community support.

A hydrant and electrical box were damaged in our North Campground sometime between Saturday August 22nd into Sunday August 23rd. It looks like someone tried to drive out of the ditch and then backed up and ran over the hydrant and electrical box. The vehicle would have some damage.

If you or someone you know was in the area and noticed any suspicious activity, or has any information regarding this incident, please let us know, you may

• ​Contact local authorities: Call the Madison County Sheriff’s Office or local law enforcement to report details anonymously.

• ​Reach out directly: Send a private message to our official page or contact a Fair Board member.

​We deeply appreciate your help in protecting our local fairgrounds and keeping them a safe place for everyone!
