RANDOLPH, Utah. January, 8, 2014.
Brett Argyle, Chair, County Fair Board, reported that the Fair Board
would like to host a Due West and Charlie Jenkins concert on the weekend
of August 9, instead of the Demolition Derby.
The Derby lost money many years and at best broke even. Argyle asked to County Commission to pay the
$10,000 needed to book the artists. He felt that ticket sales would be above that,
so the county would be reimbursed. He
thought that both Due West and Charlie Jenkins had a following that would come
to the concert at the Laketown Arena.
Norm Weston, County Commissioner, said that even though he was not sure
it would pay for itself, it might be a good idea to try it this summer. The Rodeo is the main attraction for the
Fair, but if this makes extra money that could go back to the Fair. The commissioners wanted an event that was
not too expensive. They thought the cost
of tickets should be $10 or less with a family pass
Tom Weston, County Commissioner, said that in the past, volunteers had taken unfair advantage of free passes which meant that many people did not pay for admission to events. This makes it hard to pay for the Fair and Rodeo. They needed to issue passes more carefully in the future for people who had really worked on the projects. The County Fair runs from August 9 to August 16 this year.
