RANDOLPH, Utah. October 7, 2015. Brett Argyle, Rich County Fair manager, said that they spent $33,270 dollars on the rodeo and fair and that it was "the best fair we have ever had." There is $7,000 left over for next year. Citizens liked the parade in the evening and the new bleachers were well received.
A new concession stand is needed. They made $1,800 more than last year and they could make more with a larger stand. The old one has structural problems.
Argyle said there needs to be a budget set for the fair so they don't have to wait until money is raised or appropriated to hire rodeo help or entertainment. He also wants to be able to keep the money not used for the next year.
He would also like to have a series for local people for all rodeo events because he felt it would increase involvement. Woodruff, Laketown and Randolph would have a pre-qualifying and send the prize winners to the Rich County Fair. That local series would get people through the gate.
They need to do more marketing such as getting the word out by postcards rather than the printed paper. Argyle also wants to look at potential fair managers, "I don’t want to do this forever," he said, "I am really mostly a volunteer."
