As of the 11 pm news on WTWO chanel 2 in TH, they interviewd fair board members Decker, Harris and the VP of the board there coments were basicly as follows:
Decker: What's going to be the best for the Fair Board Assn and for the 4-H'ers and see what the community thinks.
Harris: We got to do what's best for the 4-H'ers to provide them with best enviorment possible.
VP of Fair Board: There are 2 groups, one that belives it should sold and another that it should be left alone. But we must provide the best enviroment for the 4-H'ers.
The main theme here is that to provide the 4-H'ers the best possible enviroment. Okay, let's do that by reinvesting the monies brougth in to the fair grounds from the events that are paying the fair grounds for being there.
Furthermore, just from the race track stand point, with some routine maintaince to the race track (i.e. repair catch fences, spectator fence (infield), infield tower replaced and relocated and having a promoter/ promotion group that is willing to beat the bushes to intice manufactures to test thier products on track or race teams (testing dates) to do the same, this could/ would bring revenue to the facility and community. These same ideas should also work with the drag strip that's located on the property.
These are just some simple ideas that would "class up" the facility and would create place that would do more that sit there and fall apart.
I do belive that King/Dorsett/ Hamilton group are the ones that would have the best chance of showing the fair board that with some hard work that instead of the fans begging to have races @ THAT you will have fans asking "what time do the races start" and the racers and sancitioning bodies lining up to race at THAT.
Let's keep the pressure on the fair board NOT TO SELL UNLESS THE ACTION TRACK WILL BE CONTINUED
