CofC weighs dropping fair over deficit in 1978 plan
Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce weighs whether to sponsor a third October Fair in 1978 after a 3400 deficit. John Marks says board will decide next month and civic groups are being surveyed for interest. Attendance of 6000 to 8000 fell short of the 15000 break even, blamed on rain and competition from the State Fair. The city contributed about 1100 to 2385 in recent fairs, with mixed council opinions on future funding.
