Ground broken
A new Canadian County Fairgrounds should be open for business within a year.
Architect Todd Gralla said the new $15 million fairgrounds is expected to be ready in time to host the 2021 Canadian County Free Fair.
Gralla, with Populous, the Norman-based firm hired to design the first phase of the project, said the new fairgrounds will include a combination expo center/arena that will accommodate crowds of about 2,000, all under one climate-controlled roof.
