FAIRBURY It really shouldn t have been a big issue, and in the greater scheme of things, it wasn t a big issue. But the topic that drew the longest discussion at Wednesday s Fairbury City Council meeting was how much money should the City of Fairbury provide the Fairbury Fair as a sponsorship for the event.
Mayor David Slagel introduced the topic by asking if the typical $1,000 was going to be OK. A question was then raised of if the city could offer more for its sponsorship.
“They re basically asking for some sort of sponsorship from the city,” Slagel said.

FAIRBURY The Fairbury City Council has allowed Fairview Haven to hook into the community trail.
During Wednesday’s regular council meeting, Street Superintendent Martin Steidinger said those at Fairview Haven currently have to travel down Fourth Street to access the recreational path.
“They would like to go straight out from Serenity Villa,” Steidinger explained.
Fairview Haven would take care of landscaping the area with a couple of benches and wondered if the city would put some funding toward the project. While no pricing information has been released, the city will formally consider the funding aspect at a future council meeting.
