I hope this year that you don’t allow people to tape down plastic or blankets etc on the seats in the grandstand and leave them there for several days as was allowed in the past. I have seen seats remain vacant during an entire performance from seats reserved from the night before and no one showed up to claim those seats. Please remove them after every event. We are driving in from Grafton to your fair.
Thank you for asking Dale! Yes, we addressed this issue last year with a post on our website and social media plus signs around the grandstand area. Here’s a copy of the new policy to solve this issue; In response to feedback from our fans, a new process for grandstand seating has been put in place… Signs and decals in the grandstand area are now posted; “Unattended Seats Available at Show Time”. Our fans reported reserved spaces with blankets on seats and no one would show up. Therefore, starting this year all seats in the grandstand are available to anyone at the start of the concert, pull, or demo derby. Go ahead and sit on the blanket left by someone else, maybe their plans changed, we want everyone in attendance to enjoy the entertainment. If you want to use the space you reserved please be at your spot at the start of the show.” More information at https://dodgecountyfairgrounds.com/2018/08/10/updated-process-for-blankets-in-the-grandstand/
Have you ever thought of having karaoke or open mic? You had it years ago and it was a good draw.
Great feedback Jeffrey! Radio Park used to run an event like this so that opens up an idea for next year. Added to the 2020 list of ideas – Thank You!
What are the classes for the farm pull this year?
Thanks for asking Matt … The Farm Tractor Pull rules have not changed for several years. The last update we have on file is from 2016 but still applies for this year, the classes, rules, and the payout is available at this link https://dodgecountyfairgrounds.com/2016/08/01/farm-tractor-pull-rules-and-information/
