According to our news partner KETK, the fair has been held there next the Rose Bowl since 1912 but now there are reportedly plans in the works for a new location as their current contract comes to an end, according to East Texas State Fair president and CEO, John Sykes. Sykes said they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still working on the plans and that he hopes to have an announcement soon. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to build a new fairgrounds. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been trying to do that for many, many years. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s expensive to do, especially infrastructure,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sykes said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If we had the infrastructure already established, it would be relatively easy to get the rest of it done. But don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give up. I mean, we have some plans in our bucket right now that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to really hopefully surprise some people of Tyler.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; The East Texas Fair\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s last day of the year was Sunday and that was likely their last day ever at the location next to the Rose Bowl.
