4-H and Extension Service Worb with The Red River Valley Fair Association The purpose of this report is in response to a motion approved at a December 2007 meeting of the Cass County Commission for the Extension Services Department "to provide a detailed cost explanation of 4-H activities held on the Red River Fair Association's grounds and facilities." With the help of the Red River Valley Fair Association staff we have identified the major uses of their facilities to carry out Extension Service and 4-H Youth Development programs held there. The following table is for 2007 but would be typical for the times and types of uses of the facilities. There are three April 2007 activities listed at the bottom of the table which are youth audience related but are not directly connected to the Cass County Extension Services activities and programs, nor sponsored by our department. Based on published rate information provided by the Red River Valley Fair Assn. staff the fees for facility use would have been $9,250.00 for those activities directly related to the Cass Extension/4-H programs. It should be noted that Cass County Extension and 4-H has an extensive use of several buildings at the facility during the Red River Valley Fair. We also use the Horse Arena and the Hog/Sheep barn extensively for a 2-3 day 4-H Livestock Achievement Days in August. Fair association staff chose not to assign a dollar amount in the published rates column for those activities/events because they are so integral to the fair. In the case of the fair activities, it would be difficult to break some of them out because 4-H youth involvement is integrated into the activity but not the only participants in the activity.
