Links was approved to process the champions sold at the Sale of Champions. The catch to using Links is that the animals won’t be picked up until the Sunday following the fair.
The Fair Board gave its approval for the Poultry Committee to make repairs to the current poultry building with the exception of the spouting due to pricing. The Fair Board also asked that the Poultry Committee get another estimate on the doors for the building with a general feeling that the estimate to repair the doors is on the high side.
The Fair Board voted against allowing use of the race track for motorcycle racing practice due to the liability factor that would come with allowing use of the course.
Sean Dornan of Dornan Golf Cart Sales approached the Fair Board Wednesday night looking to bridge the gap with Eagle Golf Cart who provides golf cart rental to the fair.

The Fair Board noted Eagle Golf Cart would have to be contacted to confirm the issue, but it did approve using Dornan’s services if Eagle did indeed leave the current contract.
The Fair Board agreed to provide eggs to the Junior Fair Board for their egg toss.
