RV Parking

RV spaces will be reserved on a "first come, first served" basis. The cost per space is $25.00 per night pre-paid and will be $30.00 per night for unreserved. Since spaces will be reserved as they are received, those who send their reservations first will be assigned to the spaces that have full hookups. Some spaces have water, electricity and sewer. However, some spaces will only have electricity. Water is available on the fairgrounds.

If you wish to park beside someone, the reservations must have arrived in the same envelope. Reservations must have been received no later than May 1, 2008.

There are many places for motorhomes without hookups, if you desire. Those will be $15.00 and you may pay at the gate as you enter the fairgrounds.

If you pre-register for overnight parking you will be allowed to park in a designated space.

All trash should be enclosed in plastic bags and placed in dumpsters located on the fairgrounds.

You are responsible for keeping the area around your RV in a clean condition.

On the days of the events, the parking coordinator, Angie Crabtree, will be on-site.

All of the members of the Event Committee will do their best to make your stay at the Fairgrounds pleasant.

Please let us know if we can help you.
