(Jackson, Mn.)– Jackson County is looking to slowly transfer the fairgrounds to the Jackson County Ag Society, in a move that county officials say will make running the fair easier, while also helping out the county.
The deal would see the county transfer the land on a $1 lease to the Ag Society, then perhaps in the future see a real sale of the lands instead of just the lease.
It is very common in Minnesota for an agricultural society to run and manage a county fair, and for them to also own the land where the far is held.
