Albany County Fair Board Posts Agenda for March 9 Meeting

The Albany County Fair Board convened its regular meeting March 9 at the Albany County Fairgrounds meeting room on South 3rd Street in Laramie, working through a publicly posted agenda that included several items of new and old business.

The posted agenda document, dated March 9, 2026, listed the meeting's regular business alongside those discussion items, though the full itemized agenda was not detailed in publicly available materials at the time of publication. The board can be reached at (307) 742-3224 or manager@albanycountyfair.org for agenda and meeting inquiries.

The March 9 gathering followed a stretch of activity for the board that included both a regular meeting and a special meeting in March 2024. At the March 11, 2024 regular meeting, called to order by Andrea at 5:30 p.m. with Liz and Andrea present in person and Brian and Nolan participating by phone, the board approved its consent agenda on a motion by Liz, seconded by Nolan. Old business that day included updates from Jen Curran on two fronts: negotiations toward a memorandum of understanding with Extension and 4-H covering utility bill cost-sharing and storage space, and the potential sale of remaining surplus items through the Road and Bridge auction or an online public auction. New business included a motion to open one Fair Time assistant position running from mid-May through August 9, 2024, along with discussions of livestock bedding options and water line repairs with a contact identified in the minutes only as Bud.

Nine days later, on March 20, 2024, the board held a special meeting called to order by Brian at 5:30 p.m., with all members present in person. That session adjourned at 6:35 p.m. and centered on infrastructure and facility plans, a topic that has carried added urgency following substantial damage to the Activities Building at the fairgrounds. A county commissioners meeting transcript documented the scope of that damage: the PVC membrane roof on the Activities Building was lost, with approximately 95 percent gone. A presenter identified as Taylor brought a packet of materials to the commissioners tied to a spur grant pursued through the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality to help address the damage, describing three separate funding sources with payments expected sometime in March or April.

At that same commissioners meeting, the board received a new member. A motion carried to appoint Trinity Bulier to the Albany County Fair Board for a five-year term.

The Albany County Fairgrounds are located at 3510 S. 3rd Street in Laramie.
