Help save the Arizona State Fair.

Greetings Fair and Fairground Supporters,

As the State of Arizona acts to balance its severe budget deficits, lawmakers may take yet another substantial amount of money from the Arizona Exposition and State Fair (AESF).  The latest proposed fund sweep is $2.7 million in fiscal year 2010. If the monies are taken, AESF may cease to exist given that the agency’s total operating budget is $10-$12 million per year.

During this challenging time, we encourage you to contact your State Representatives and Senators – including those listed below - to express your support for AESF and your concerns regarding the potential impact of another fund sweep.

For more helpful facts that you may use in your communications, please (read more).

Sincerely,

Don West
Executive Director
Arizona State Fair
