Representatives from the Fair Board and Extension Office provided their annual report to the Geary County Commission on Monday. Alex Tyson, Commission Chair, stated that some upgrades to facilities are being planned. They include repair of some piping around one of the restrooms and an upgrade to a roof in the livestock barn. "They may have some funding. Cory ( Trumpp, Public Works Director ) is working with them to also possibly secure funding. That way it would be a venture by both parties to have that done. "
Tyson noted that the newest development for the fair in recent years involves the number of people watching their livestreams during the pandemic. "With everybody coming out of COVID they're making an effort to build that up and possibly have a camera that's live streaming instead of an iPad. " Tyson added that livestream will continue this year in addition to the normal in-person activities.
The fair is scheduled July 17th through the 21st.
