[edit] Citations and Improvements Needed

Most of this article is still uncited...frankly, several of the statements just don't ring true. It would be nice to have more history of the Lewisburg Fair prior to designation as the state fair, and also the circumstances that led to that designation. How many acres is the fairgrounds? The parking and camping area? Who owns it?

Also, the fair receives a great deal of local criticism because it does not publish its financial statements, and questions are raised about its true "nonprofit" status. However, I don't have any citations available to let me include his. Does anyone? Cmichael 18:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Found, used and cited the proof of 501(c)3 status. Still, there are rumors that funds are not all channelled back into operations. I have no citations or proof of that of any kind, so won't include it. Does anybody have anything along these lines? Cmichael 04:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
