Sweet Wife Thews Sheet Metal Thomas Angus Ranch Umpqua Bank 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. The later part of 2018 we completed a new north entrance and roof to the Conference and Event Center. We will have a new exterior insulation and we will paint the Event Center by the end of 2019, to help with energy effciency. Hopefully in 2020 we will have repainted the interior of the Event Center Conference Room and also a new refurbished floor. We are currently rebuilding the fence around the rodeo arena. This project is being done in sections and hopefully will be finished by the end of the year. With all the new projects and new look at the Baker County Fairgrounds, we would like to thank our generous community for their continued support. THANK YOU!
