The fairgrounds lot has been there forever, and it has always been nothing particularly special.
- There are some buildings on it, but they are simply CBS block buildings and they have no particular beauty or loveliness to them.
The other day, though, I was driving down the street where the fairgrounds are. I had reason to go that way and I discovered that they are doing renovations at the fairgrounds. The simple CBS block buildings are now painted to be quite pretty. And painted down in the corner there is a logo for the company that is sponsoring the fairgrounds renovation.It turns out that the renovation is being sponsored by a local HVAC company. Not only are they cleaning up the grounds and painting the buildings, they are installing modern HVAC technology into each of those Fairgrounds buildings. Many people want to use the fairgrounds for more than just the fair, but one thing that always holds people back is that the buildings do not have Heating and Cooling. During the fair, they simply use big box fans and industrial fans in those buildings. Even the buildings that are used for snack companies to sell hot dogs and stuff do not have air conditioning. Well, that is all about to change because of our local HVAC company. They will be installing HVAC with Zone control throughout the entire Fairgrounds. That way, they can set the thermostat to different temperatures in different buildings, and in fact, they can keep the heating and cooling system completely off if nobody is using a certain building. I think it’s a fabulous idea!Next time I walk around to visit all the booths that come to the fair, I can do so in air-conditioned comfort.
