[Vision2020] Ice Rink - Some light on why it is located at theFairgrounds

[Pat Kraut]

I agree with you April. This city has argued this before and lost some great
opportunities to move to a bigger, better location. If we have to charge
entrance so be it but the location now is and has been long since WAY TOO
SMALL.

For some groups, the fairgrounds is too small NOW, and has been for years.
Kids participating in the 4-H horse project must complete their projects at
the county show in late June, because their is no room to show off their
accomplishments and progress to the community at the September fair. As a
graduate of the Canyon County 4-H program, I find this very disheartening.

Local riding clubs would LOVE to use the arena to host horse shows and
clinics, but it's too small--not the arena, but the available space outside
the arena. There simply isn't enough trailer parking to make it a viable and
profitable location for more than a tiny show. Many 4-H groups would like to
use the grounds for fundraiser horse shows, but are forced to limit their
advertising--and resulting income--to plan for the available space. Add the
questionable footing, lack of water and lack of perimeter fencing for small
shows, and stalls, wash racks, and a warmup arena for medium-sized shows,
and, well, you see the problem.

I predict that the fairgrounds will be too small within roughly 20 years.
