Gibson County Fair 3

162nd Gibson County Fair kicks off he Gibson County Fair board would like to welcome you to the 162nd Gibson County Fair; we believe it’s the best fair in Southern Indiana. As you enter the grounds this year, you will see we have just completed phase two of a three-phase $4.4 million improvement project at the fairgrounds. You won’t be able to miss the new event center at the top of the midway. The 18,000 square feet building will seat over 630 people and has everything you need for a large event including a large warming kitchen for catering, audio visual equipment, and much more. In the coming months the new Event Center will be host to some

exciting new events. You will also notice new pavement and the widening of the midway. What you may not notice are the numerous infrastructure improvements that have been made to electrical, water, sewer, communications and lighting systems. Soon after this fair is completed, the Fair Board will begin the final phase of the improvement project. The major improvements in phase three will include continued improvements to the fairgrounds infrastructure and replacing most of the permanent concession stands that were built in the 1940s and 1950s. The Fair Board will replace the older concessions with two new open air seating

concessions that will have four ser ving areas, will be handicap accessible, and will seat over 250 each. We would like to thank ever yone that has helped us make improvements to the fairgrounds possible. With a special thanks to the Gibson County Commissioners, the Economic Redevelopment Commission, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana and the people and businesses that have donated time and money. We hope you enjoy your time at the fair this year and return next year to see the additional improvements. Charlie Woodruff Board President
