Between 50 and 75 people worked this spring to install new counters, a sink, bright white paint, and a poured concrete floor at Purple Cow. Oregon National Guard volunteers assisted May and June. Dormitories receive bunk beds replacing mattresses, with boys and girls facilities updated including showers. Funds came from a sale held in June.
The Coos County Fair Board, an all volunteer eight member group, works to balance a slim budget near 140 dollars while wages run low at about 27 000 in 1974 and state aid partly covers costs. The fair's real estate holdings exceed 400 000 and gate income covers roughly two thirds of expenses with additional funds from Oregon paramutuals and local government.
