The Tri-State Fair Association seeks a 20 year lease of county park land at Potter County’s Fair Park, but the commissioners court, advised by County Attorney Roy Snodgrass, declined to act. The history goes back to 1924 when the county bought land for the park and subsequent leases and cancellations followed.
