[Vision2020] Ice Rink - Some light on why it is located at the Fairgrounds

>From a lurker coming out of hiding...

For some groups, the fairgrounds is too small NOW, and has been for years. Kids participating in the 4-H horse project must complete their projects at the county show in late June, because their is no room to show off their accomplishments and progress to the community at the September fair. As a graduate of the Canyon County 4-H program, I find this very disheartening.

Local riding clubs would LOVE to use the arena to host horse shows and clinics, but it's too small--not the arena, but the available space outside the arena. There simply isn't enough trailer parking to make it a viable and profitable location for more than a tiny show. Many 4-H groups would like to use the grounds for fundraiser horse shows, but are forced to limit their advertising--and resulting income--to plan for the available space. Add the questionable footing, lack of water and lack of perimeter fencing for small shows, and stalls, wash racks, and a warmup arena for medium-sized shows, and, well, you see the problem.

I predict that the fairgrounds will be too small within roughly 20 years.
