Fair lease agreement draws discussion, ultimately approved
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
The Dyer County Fair Association was granted a lease to continue to hold the fair at the Dyer County Fairgrounds (formerly the Dyer County Farm) for an additional 50 years at the Dyer County Commission meeting on Monday evening. The approval was about as smooth as a fair bumper-car ride as confusion arose during the meeting over who drafted the agreement and what grounds were covered in the lease. The new agreement will allow the Dyer County Fair Association to make capital improvements to the fairgrounds with the security of knowing that the Dyer County Fair will be around for at least another 50 years.
