No Picnic Tables At Fairgrounds

The Williams County Fair Foun­da­tion Board met recently, and decided to nix the pur­chase of pic­nic tables for the fair­grounds. Pre­vi­ously, the board had agreed to spend about $2,000 for pic­nic tables at the fair­grounds. But after dis­cus­sion, a motion to pur­chase the tables, using the pro­ceeds of a recent fish fry, failed by a vote of 6 to 4. Accord­ing to the Bryan Times, there was no spe­cific rea­son given for the deci­sion to not move for­ward with the pic­nic tables. On another note, the board learned that things are going great for the upcom­ing Trac­tor Show and Rib Fest, that is sched­uled on July 24–26. The Fair Foun­da­tion agreed to work with the com­mit­tee to pro­vide food con­ces­sions as well as serve a pan­cake and sausage break­fast on the morn­ing of Sat­ur­day, July 25.
