Five Seasons Center posts income drop despite optimistic forecast
First quarter fiscal 1984 net income for the Five Seasons Center fell 14.2 percent to $145,398.83 from $169,466.72 a year earlier due to fewer event days. Manager Dana Warg forecast the second quarter would match or exceed last year's results and highlighted strong standing among secondary-market venues. The commission approved a five year concession contract with Interstate United Corp, with projected increases in food and beverage and novelty sales and a $75,000 investment for improvements, including a new six line stand if space is arranged by January 1, 1985. A fair rental reduction for the Farm Progress Show was also authorized amid scheduling mixups with the Home Show, with final dates to be set.
