Summer is here and the bombastic celebration of arena rock is out on the road celebrating their 13th year of Arena Rock Madness across the United States. Hairball is spreading their wings and bringing their bombastic tribute to Arena Rock to parts of the country that they have yet to visit, but are sure to conquer.

Delaware County Fair Show Ring

Delaware County Fair Society Breaks Ground on New Show Ring.

The Delaware County Fair is excited to announce they have officially broken ground on their new show ring facility. The footings and wall portions of the building were poured last week. Construction of the main building structure is set to get underway with the next break in the weather.

Manager Jeannie Domeyer said, “who would have thought we’d be waiting to see if we could build based on the snow forecast in May. We’re really excited to be making progress on this building and are so blessed to have a group of generous material suppliers and contractors who are donating portions to help make this project happen.”

Donations are still needed to reach the final goal of this project. If you are interested in making a tax deductible contribution to this project, please contact the fairground at 563.927-6449.
