Eau Claire fair to stay put after relocation plans scrapped
Eau Claire County scrapped proposals to move the fairgrounds and to build a senior center on the site. The fair will stay at the Fairfax Street location in Altoona with no definite move planned. From 1979 to 1981 officials debated a 258 acre site near Washington for a new fairgrounds but water contamination ended that option. The 4 H community favored more space, while earlier talks in 1984 to sell county land to fund a new multipurpose building were not acted on.

Eau Claire County Fair unlikely to move location soon
Judy Bechard and Jeanne Backstrom on the county Fair Commission say the Eau Claire fair will stay in its current location for the foreseeable future and should publicize the event more. They note limited carnival attractions and anticipate more amateur activities and year end improvements with volunteer support.
