Historic agreement seals purchase of fairgrounds by the county

Morrill County has reached a momentous agreement with the Morrill County Rodeo Farm and Ranch Association to purchase seven acres of the Morrill County Fairgrounds just west off of Highway 88 south of Bridgeport, including the animal show buildings and exhibition hall. A long time in the making, Morrill County was the last county in the state who held a fair, not jointly with another county, that didn’t own its own fairgrounds. 04/13/2023 03:00 AM
