Take the survey about moving county fair

MEEKER | You may be aware that the RBC Fairboard is exploring the possibility of moving the County Fair dates one week earlier. The earlier dates will help to accommodate CHSAA sports practices which are starting earlier in the season. The Fairboard is interested in getting feedback from the community to see what works best for the public. Please visit the weblink or use the QR code to access the public input survey. If you can’t access the survey digitally the CSU Extension Offices in Meeker and Rangely will have paper copies of the survey. The Meeker Extension office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the Rangely Extension office is open Monday through Thursday from 12-5 p.m. or by appointment. Surveys are due by Dec. 10 at 5 p.m. and one survey per family will be accepted. https://forms.gle/E8GR5trLPLVYT7HA6
