Bradford County Fair Association Meeting 4/28/26 @6PM

The Bradford County Florida Board of County Commissioners held a meeting on April 28, 2026, primarily focused on the operations and management of the Bradford County Fair Association. Key procurement-related discussions included the review of the year-to-date financial report presented by the interim treasurer, highlighting income from rentals and expenses related to fair operations. The board discussed maintenance and capital improvement projects, notably the phased redevelopment of the horse arena and concession stand, with plans to align with the county's site plan due by May 5. The fair manager introduced a potential new ticketing system vendor, Ticket Spice, for online ticket sales and event management, with a plan to evaluate options at an upcoming expo. Additionally, the board addressed rental policies for nonprofit organizations using fairgrounds facilities, proposing a security deposit and nominal fees while considering future bylaw updates to formalize these policies. A bylaw policy subcommittee was formed to update governance documents and rental procedures. No formal contract awards or vendor selections were finalized during this meeting, but several action items were identified for future procurement and policy decisions.
