Fair Receipts Up From Last Year

Okawville Fair receipts increased for food, soda, and beer sales in 2019, compared to 2018.

Total food sales this year were $29,663, up from $28,820 in 2018 and $29,040 in 2017.

Soda stand receipts this year were $6,502, up from $6,037 last year and $5,393 in 2017.

Beer stand receipts this year were $19,867, up from $18,467 last year, but less than the $19,930 in 2017.

Income on Sunday was less than the previous year, likely due to the heat, but was higher on Saturday than the previous year.

Soda and beer sales were higher both days than last year.

Expenses for food, soda, and beer are not calculated, so the profit is not yet known.

Carnival ride receipts were $5,248 for three days, down from $5,467 last year and $5,560 in 2017.

Receipts from the Queen Pageant have not yet been reported to the Fair treasurer.
