(KNZA)--This year will mark the 100th anniversary of the Brown County Fair, and efforts are underway to make this year’s fair parade bigger and better.
Tim Lentz, representing the Horton Chamber of Commerce, met with the Brown County Commission Monday to request funding from the county to cover the cost of bringing some added attractions to the parade.
Lentz said the Chamber is looking at bringing Willie the Wildcat and the Topeka Marking Band. He said they are still searching for additional attractions as well.
The Commission voted to provide up to $3,000 for the added entertainment.
The Chamber will pay the bills for the parade entertainment and then submit them to the county for reimbursement.
The Brown County Fair will be held July 9th-13th at the fairgrounds in Horton.
