THIS SUMMER’S ILLINOIS STATE FAIR BROUGHT IN MORE MONEY THAN EVER BEFORE. 

TOTAL REVENUE FOR THE STATE FAIR IN SPRINGFIELD CAME IN AT MORE THAN SIX POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS…BEATING THE PREVIOUS HIGH OF SIX POINT FOUR SET IN 2013. STATE FAIR MANAGER KEVIN GORDON SAYS THE SUCCESS IS ATTRIBUTED TO RECORD GRANDSTAND CONCERT TICKET SALES, NEW PROMOTIONS AND MORE.

GORDON SAYS THEY ARE ALREADY PLANNING FOR 2020…SENDING OUT OFFERS TO POTENTIAL GRANDSTAND ACTS AND WORKING ON NEW PROMOTIONS. THE STATE FAIR IS A LITTLE LATER NEXT YEAR…RUNNING AUGUST 13TH THROUGH THE 23RD.

GRANDSTAND CONCERT REVENUE ALSO HIT A NEW HIGH THIS YEAR.
