And those are 2002 numbers!
Orange County's Fairgrounds are constantly in use - if it's not the Fair, it's the Marketplace, a gem show, pet expo, warehouse sale, motocross show, skateboarding contest. In 2002, the State hired KPMG to measure the economic impact of all fairgrounds.
Did you know:
- $61.8 Million - Annual personal income impact from Fair attendees, organization and business spending.
- An estimated 5.06 jobs are created in the county for each worker in the Fair organization.
- $1 spent at the Fairgrounds generates an additional 43 cents in additional spending in the County.
- $11.9 million in local spending by commercial exhibitors, $4.1 million in personal income, 103 local jobs, and almost $84,000 in taxes are generated annually by the Fair
- Year round events (non-Fair time) generated over $57 million
