Buckeye Farm Antiques (BFA) is taking its shows to Shelby County.
The BFA board met Sunday night for a brief meeting at which they confirmed they would not be hosting their annual spring show at the Auglaize County Fairgrounds this year.
After several meetings, the BFA’s Contract Committee and the Auglaize County Fair Board were unable to reach an agreement on price. A statement from the BFA said the BFA could not remain in business if they pay what the Fair Board proposed.
According to BFA Vice President Gary Bradford the group was given permission by the Shelby County Fairgrounds to use the entire fairground at $5,000 plus paying for electricity.
