Contract value

$300,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. However, comparable grandstand entertainment contracts for county fairs typically range from $150,000 to $500,000 depending on the number of acts, production complexity, and talent fees. Given that this is a state‑wide fair with a sizable audience, a mid‑range estimate of about $300,000 is reasonable. This estimate assumes multiple head‑liners, stage rental, crew, and associated logistics.
