The midway area has a new look with addition of the Agriplex annex, and removal of Pioneer Hall and the old Grange kitchen. The building features a PA system, air-conditioned eating place and rest room facilities, in addition to the kitchen. There are different access points to the addition, which adjoins the Agriplex itself. As with the Agriplex, the annex is available for rent. There already are two weddings booked in the building after the fair.
New windows are among the improvements added in the home economics hall.
There are increased food booths this year as well, and with the absence of the kitchen and Pioneer Hall, Adams says that there will be wider grassy areas for people to walk through. A better view of the stage is another bonus. Another change is the carnival. Davis Shows, the same company that does Stampede, replaces Candy Apple Entertainment.
