Festivals, Fairs & Fun (#103)
Original Air Date: Monday, October 15, 2007
Clay County’s Fair is billed as the “Largest County Fair in the World.” Small and large towns are constantly expanding their entertainment options with seasonal and cultural festivals and stage events of all types. What do such events add to the state aside from diversions? We discuss whether the economic gain balances the dollars spent, and looks at other potential effects of festivals, fairs, and fun.
