Nice way to have someone else look it up for you

From the [
website] (which does not have too much information):
- It appears the contact information is a county email address
- The website WHOIS lookup seems to be a private person
- The grounds are called 'Benton County Fairground' (sounds county owned)
Not enough public information to tell. I would call the county and ask who owns the land. Verify all facts independently.
---------------------------------
Edit:
Seems it may be private. there is a new website [
link]. Contact information is all private and guest services indicates no weapons.
I contacted Lori Lancaster she says it is leased and they are a 50133 not for profit company (We all know how nobody profits from a fair), and they pay $48 an hour for each security person, approximatly 70. She
eple said that it is a family event with children and there is no need for firearms at their fair. If found to have a firearm you will be stopped by fair security.

This is from our police blotter, It must be the reason that the law abiding public is asked not to carry a firearm at the fairgrounds.

CAT
CAT had two detectives with the fair gang suppression team. Eleven gang members were escorted out of the fair for gang attire and one arrest was made for warrants and false reporting. Several gang members were at the fair in non gang clothes, and did not cause any problems.
Gotta go to work dont have time to research any more at this time.
