If all goes as planned, by this time next year the new Canadian County Fairgrounds will have hosted its first free fair.

Projections are the more than $15 million fairgrounds, being built north of Jensen Road and east of U.S. 81, will be up and running before the annual county fair gets under way, usually in late August.

So the question now becomes, what happens with what will become the former site of the fairgrounds?
