Why did the rate go up a couple of years ago?

0

In 2006, the fairgrounds raised their rate to $15. That is still a low rate for a campsite. Folks mistakenly think that the Fairgrounds makes a bundle, but if you figure out how much they take in for the festival, and consider that the Funfest is the only time of the year that the whole campground is in use, you’ll realize that what they collect isn’t sufficient to cover utilities, ground maintenance, salaries for those who work at the fairgrounds (there are several full time employees), and all the other costs, while making improvements to the facilities. Over the past few years there has been a strong push to find other groups that want to use the facilities. The woodcarvers hold a meet in June. The fair is immediately after the Funfest in late July. But for the most part, the rest of the year, the campground is pretty empty. Maybe you know of a group that needs a great camping area. If so, consider the Evart Fairgrounds.
