Fair board sets trailer parking rules

    The Washington County Fair Association met Wednesday night and discussed whether or not to charge admission to the members of the model railroad club, who operate a station at the fairgrounds. The board voted to allow the railroad club to enter without a fair pass provided the member shows the ticket-taker a current membership card to the railroad club.

    There was a discussion about how to charge for trailer parking south of the track. The board voted to award the parking spots on a ?first come, first serve? basis beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 17.

    The board also voted to instruct the food vendor ?Tailgate Toby? to begin serving at 5 p.m. during the week of the fair, which will be from Sunday, July 18 through Friday, July 23. ?Tailgate Toby? is a new food vendor to the fair.

    The board members agreed that they need to purchase rain insurance again this year. A number of members said that the fair could not afford to go without rain insurance if rain were to cancel one of the major events such as the Motorcross.
