9 <br />d) Update on Consideration of County Fair <br />Over the past several months, representatives of the Board of Commissioners and <br />County staff have explored the potential for an Orange County Fair. After examining <br />a number of other fairs across the state and nation, and preparing a preliminary <br />report, the County Fair Working Group developed a proposal for an initial two -day <br />fair potentially in spring 2015. The event, as proposed, would feature music, <br />agricultural exhibits, arts and crafts, games and rides, and exhibits about the <br />County's history. After careful consideration, the Board of Commissioners <br />determined to not pursue the concept of a County Fair at this time. <br />No Attachments <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with discussion of these <br />topics. There are no action items requiring formal Board decisions. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Managers recommend the Boards discuss the topics listed and <br />provide appropriate direction to the respective staffs. <br />
