Comm. Minutes--January 6, 1992 803 Mr. Wieland said a signed agreement between Cass County and the Red River Valley Fair Association is the most important aspect as far as the County Commission is concerned because the county doesn't want to be in the business of approving buildings. Mr. Eckert asked when the Fair Association planned to have the buildings constructed, and Mr. Olson said the price quoted them by a Detroit Lakes firm includes building them the third week in January. He said two horse shows are scheduled the end of March, and that is the first time they plan to use the new barns.
