The fairgrounds has expanded in big ways over the last several years. As each addition has been made the current sound system was adjusted the same way “an addition was made.”  Now, we have multiple sound systems all going to different places.  Currently, there is not a way to make an announcement that will reach the entire grounds. A local expert was consulted and made a recommendation to solve the sound system problem. The best solution proposed would consolidate all current systems, add speakers to the banquet hall, and ensure an announcement could be made that would reach to the whole property. For example: if you were in the food stand eating a piece of delicious homemade pie and your friend was in the cattle barn, you would both hear the announcement that the magic show will start at 1pm. Remaining funding needed to complete this project is about $22,000. Please contact Ashley (515) 230-3396 for more information about this project.
