The Jim Hosch Arena and Milking Parlor
The Jim Hosch Arena is dedicated in memory of long-time director of the Clayton County Extension Service, Jim Hosch. The facility will provide much needed housing for cattle exhibits and a new milking parlor during the fair season. The high ceiling and manually-controlled curtained windows will assure a comfortable atmosphere for fair exhibitors and their animals. During the off-season the arena will be used as a storage area for vehicles, campers, trailers and boats. See storage information.
