There is a large lake and recreational area next to the fairgrounds. This past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they hosted an event called Desert Daze. It is a pot festival. They have been hosting it for about three or four years and it has grown into a massive deal. Three stages, with bands playing constantly, food, and pot. The event is about four years old and we have a raced on every weekend it has happened prior to this year. However, the event has grown big time. Last year during the races on that weekend we noticed cars parking on the dam. That had never happened before. This year the fairgrounds advised us if the lake needed the parking lots on the fairgrounds they were going to rent them to the festival. It all depended on ticket sales. It became apparent early last week or late the week before that they sold so many tickets they were gonna need those parking lots. That event has grown every year and reportedly they expected 50,000 or 60,000 this year.
