Horse Stalls To Be Rented Again

The Defi­ance County fair board has reversed an ear­lier deci­sion, and has now decided to once again allow peo­ple to con­tinue rent­ing horse stalls at the fair­grounds.

Last month, the board said it was going to stop rent­ing stalls and close the track for part of the spring and sum­mer, due to the fact that some renters had not been pay­ing rent or were behind on pay­ments.

Now, the board says an agree­ment had been reached to allow only those indi­vid­u­als who were up-to-date on stall fees to con­tinue to rent the facil­i­ties.

Part of the new agree­ment now says that renters will not be able to use the track when a new 200-foot long wall is installed in front of the stage. The use of the horse rac­ing track was not part of the orig­i­nal stall rental agree­ments. It was sim­ply con­sid­ered a perk of hous­ing at the fairgrounds.
