Logan County Fair Board posts agenda for Feb. 12, 2026 meeting

The Logan County Fair Board posted an agenda for a meeting that was scheduled for Feb. 12, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. in the Logan County Courthouse, 315 Main Street, Sterling. The agenda, carried under President Aaron Hettinger’s call to order, placed contracts and the fair book at the center of discussion as organizers move toward summer events.

Guest presentations were listed early on the agenda, including Piper Withers and a raw agenda fragment printed as "Guest Presentations 9 4.5 The Ranch a Logic." Recurring operational items follow: Fair Book Discussion, a Sweetheart Update, and Ex Officio Reports. The Ex Officio section in the county material lists "Fair Manager’s Report and Correspondence," "Buildings & Grounds Supervisor Report," "Extension Office Report" and "FFA Advisor’s Report," with names that appear near that section including Guy McEndaffer, Rick Cullip, Brian Kailey, JD Sexton and Jaci Wagner. The agenda copy contains a truncated line reading "Ex Officio Reports: Fair Manag" in one source.

Financial and consent items were prominent in the posted agenda copy. The consent agenda included "Approval of Minutes from November 14, 2024" and identified Janie Rasmussen as Secretary/Treasurer. The treasurer’s items appear in the county copy as printed lines: "Bills for November were $14,946.37, The Cash Fund Balance is $311,142.81" and "Bills for December were $1,918.46 The Cash Fund Balance is $307,111.14." The copy also contains inconsistent January entries, printed as "Bills for January were $2118.38 The [...] Balance is $307.111.14" and later as "Bills for January were $2118.38 The Cash Fund Balance is $303.542.99." Those figures appear in the posted agenda but require verification because the text is duplicated and partially corrupted.

Unfinished business and new business items listed on the agenda touched on programming and vendor contracts that affect fair attendees and vendors. Unfinished business included "Voting on Fair Marshals" and "Beer Garden Contract- Advertising." New business items included a theme contest drawing, Mega Passes, a bull riding contract with Dan Bornhoft, "Stormy Production Contract," and a repeat Fair Book Discussion. The agenda also notes the possibility of an executive session and adjournment.

The county website snapshot included with the materials displayed a February 2026 calendar message: "There are no published events in current month." The posted agenda from the county site appears to be dated Feb. 13, 2025 and lists a next meeting of March 13, 2025, and the copy also prints "Total Fair Board Members 16 for a quorum 9 Board Members." For contact verification the county listing reads: "Logan County Courthouse 315 Main Street Sterling, CO 80751 Phone: 970-522-1544."

What this means for Logan County readers is practical and immediate. Decisions on the beer garden, bull riding and Mega Passes shape ticketing, safety and family plans for the county fair season. Confirm the Feb. 12, 2026 agenda, minutes and the treasurer’s final figures by calling the Logan County Courthouse at 970-522-1544 before making plans. The county material lists 2026 fair dates as "2026 Fair Dates: 7/23/26 to 8/2/26," but final vendor contracts and any changes will be set by the board in its posted minutes and subsequent meetings.
