Harrison County Fair Board has announced the offer of a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved in the recent break-ins of the new concession stand and grandstand. Anyone with any information is asked to please contact a local Fair Board member or the Missouri Valley Police Department. The new concession stand has been broken into three times, and the grandstand storage area was just recently broke into.

Items were taken from the Concessions stand include boxes of candy bars, for the recent Figure 8 races. The Fair Board says damage to their concession stand and grandstand will be costly. Sets of trophies have been destroyed beyond repair, and lights have been broken.

The Harrison County Fair Board says they work very hard to bring Fun Family Entertainment to the community. The new Concession stand was made possible by local grants and, as mentioned, someone has damaged it three different times. If you know of anyone who has come across boxes of candy bars they might know something about the break ins. Please say something!!! Officials say “These people need to be stopped as they are continuing to damage our property. With high deductibles for insurance these damages become expensive for the board and take away from what we are trying to accomplish.”

All money made from fairground events are put into the Harrison County Fair and Fair grounds for improvements. The Fair Board implores you to “Please help us stop these people” [who are causing the damage and thefts].
