RHINELANDER - Community members and Oneida County Fair organizers agree that changes need to be made for the fair to survive. The county helps pays a little more than $14,000 for a part of the fair budget right now, but fair organizers eventually expect to get no money from the county.
That was part of the plan in 2009 when the fair moved to Pioneer Park in Rhinelander. The county would give the fair $25,000 dollars for the first few years with the expectation of the fair becoming self-sufficient. That's why organizers met to brainstorm at a strategy meeting Tuesday night. They say the last two fairs have been great, with attendance and weather.
