Commissioners Approve Construction of Fairgrounds
It took a long time and a huge amount of effort on the part of many people in the Moapa Valley, but the proposed 190 acre recreation area located in Logandale received the green light for construction by the Clark County Board of Commissioners.
With the final roadblock out of the way, fair board members hoped to get construction underway in September or October in order to have the first fair on the site in April of 1987.
This feature is made possible by the Old Logandale School Historical and Cultural Society archives and the gracious assistance of Beezy Tobiasson.
