Fair Board Meets, Making Some Headway into Planning for This Year

IRONWOOD – The Gogebic County Fair Board voted to offer a new rotating feature during each of the days of the fair this year. Board member Holly Ramme suggested that the fair offer an additional event each day of the fair, like stock car drivers offering a close up look at their vehicles before the races with photo and autograph opportunities, as well as a display by the library one day, a craft display and a free market. Ramme offered to direct the new events and board member Melina Kostac offered to help. The board also discussed possible battle of the band’s competition. The board also voted on the vendor booth charge and other features for the fair.
