PHOENIX â The Arizona State Fair has been held at the fairgrounds near 19th Avenue and McDowell Road for decades. This year it will move to Wild Horse Pass, part of the Gila River Indian Community creating some mixed reactions from those who live nearby. This is our biggest fundraiser. We have several others but, this is our biggest,â says Deacon Robert Moore with Greater Progressive Christian Church.
The church opens its parking lot up annually to customers. Volunteers work hard to sell spots during the nearly month-long event.
