State Aid Boost for County and District Fairs
The legislature passed a bill increasing state aid to county and district fairs. The new law allows 70 percent on the first 1000 and 40 percent above that, with a 7500 annual maximum per fair, versus 60/20 percent and 800 under the old rule. The expansion reflects higher costs in labor, materials, and advertising.
