The 50th Anniversary of the Southeast Alaska State Fair broke records, earning more revenue and garnering more attendance than any previous fair.
Fair executive director Jessica Edwards briefed attendees at the fair’s annual membership meeting Aug. 31 where members provided feedback to the fair board and later ate a salmon dinner.
Revenue and attendance increased by about 5.5 percent this year compared to the 2011 fair, which is now the second biggest year on record.
