Why County Fairs Cost More Than City Events
You may notice our county fair pricing is higher than our city event rates. Here's why:
Larger Scale: County fairs typically have 5-10x more attendees than city festivals
Peak Season Demand: Summer fair season (June-August) is our busiest time with limited availability
Extended Commitment: Multi-day fairs require us to be away from home for extended periods
Overnight Logistics: Multi-day events include lodging, meals, and animal care away from our facility
Higher Visibility: County fairs are signature community events with greater impact and exposure
Complex Setup: Fair environments require more extensive displays and crowd management systems
Our all-inclusive multi-day pricing eliminates hassle for fair boards—one flat fee covers everything with no surprise costs.
