COMMUNITY REVENUE IMPACT BY THE FOUR STATES FAIR AND RODEO This amount is hard to pinpoint due to the fact that vendors on the independent area (the food vendors and commercial vendors
around the circle area who are not local) stay in area hotels, eat in area restaurants, and purchase their food and supplies from local merchants.
The fair pays out over $85,000 for security, police, fire, and event staffing for the ten day event. This money goes directly back into the local community.
