The winter of 2022/2023 was particularly difficult for the buildings on the Blandford Fairgrounds as evident in the destruction of the fair's cattle barns. The fair has a long list of ongoing maintenance and repair operations that include painting, cleanup, updating water and electrical services, replacing damaged items (such as the picnic tables that were stored in the cattle barns for the winter), and a host of other items that are necessary for operating the fair. While the primary goal is currently replacing the agricultural hall roof, there is a need for non-restricted donations as well.
