If anyone has any information on the person(s) that decided to deface the fair grounds recently, please reach out to a board member or the sheriffs office. We will check to see if there is camera footage of the incident.

Most people know this isn’t right and will not be tolerated, but obviously some don’t. If you see something please say something. We all work hard to make the fairgrounds a place to enjoy and have fun, don’t ruin it for everyone else.
