FUTURE PLANS FOR BAKER COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS
We are busy continuing work on the Conference & Event Center . The Baker County Fair continues to grow and we are making changes in the facilities to accommodate the growth .
This year we completed the grandstand foundation & structure remodel . The fence has been replaced on the west side directly behind the grandstands & the remaining fence from the grandstands to the 5 acre lot will be replaced before the end of the year .
A sidewalk will be put in between the National Guard building and the rodeo grounds , which will give us access to the parking lot during big events . This project is dependent upon a grant that its requirements are for it to be completed by November .
After fair this year we will be remodeling the north entrance to the Conference & Event Center . It will have a foyer type entrance with two sets of double doors to help enhance our energy efficiency . We ’ re also adding a new exterior insulation & paint . We want to thank Ash Grove Cement for their generous contribution of $ 20,000.00 to this project . We look forward to the new look & feel of the “ New ” Conference & Event Center . Be sure to come over to check it out .
THANK YOU ! TO ALL BUSINESSES , FOUNDATIONS , PRIVATE CITIZENS AND THE FRIENDS OF THE FAIR FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THESE PROJECTS !
