December 11, 2014. Brett Argyle will be taking care of the Rich County
Fair again this coming year. He reported
that contracts for certain entertainment and rodeo stock needs to be taken care
of as soon as possible. He would like to
hold a dinner in January for the Rodeo Committee to get them enthused and ready
to go to work for the 2015 rodeo.
All but three individuals/companies who pledged money for
last year’s rodeo have paid their pledged amount. He said that money from those
who have not yet paid would be forthcoming soon.
Argyle noted that the steak dinner night was one of the
highlights of last year’s festivities.
He would like to continue that activity but feels the charge will have
to go to $10 per person. Beef prices
have gone up, and the meal had to be subsidized last year. He would like to see it be more self
sustaining.
More money will be needed to bring in the announcer, the
stock needed, the carnival, and so forth.
He noted that the concert last year didn’t draw the expected crowd. The weather seemed to have affected the
activity—there were lots of dark clouds, even though it didn’t rain.
Charlie Jenkins seemed to be the most popular entertainer
from last year. He would like to get him
to return this coming year. The contract
from him needs to be finalized soon.
The fish pond costs about $500. Saddle Strings came for $700 last year. The sound system was $2,000, and so
forth. Argyle was asked to write up a
list of expenses and revenues from last year to help the Commissioners know
financially how this activity really faired financially. He said he would do so as soon as he could.
