County Fair Faces 1976 Funding Question Over $10,000 Loan
Huron County Fair Board may rely on the county to cover a $10,000 loan used to operate last August. Board president Tom Secor says commissioners signed for the loan and questions how repayment will be handled as they seek a higher annual allocation. He warns without support, fairs could fail. The county will set the 1976 appropriation in January amid budget tightening. Secor was replaced as fair board president by Donald Knight during the agricultural society election.
