Tough decision for Dawson Fall Fair Board

Dawson Creek Exhibition Association weighs raising gate and booth fees to cover rising costs for the three day fall fair and rodeo. Prices set at 12 dollars gate with 8 for students and seniors and 5 for children 7 to 12. Three day passes are gone and a 5 percent sales tax on food booths above 10 thousand dollars will apply. The board cites expenses exceeding two hundred thousand dollars and aims to keep the event financially viable.
