Do you have Campers, Boats, Jet Skis and other items not used in the winter which clutter up your garage or have to sit outside?

The Fair has a solution: Seasonal Indoor Storage will take place at the Fairgrounds in Clinton on Sunday, October 26th starting at 8 AM. First come, first served. No reservations are taken on items smaller than medium sized campers.

Large and Tall Fifth Wheel campers which were stored in the Show Arena building last year will be contacted by a Board member and will likely go in on a separate date.

The storage rate will be $8.00 per foot of total length of the item being stored including trailers, hitches, bumpers, spare tires, etc. An example for a boat would be to measure the total length from the front of the trailer hitch to the rear of the boat motor. Multiply the total length times $8.00 and that will be the storage fee. Please note that all length measurements will be rounded up to the next highest foot increment.

Payment can be made with Checks, Cash, or Credit Card (fees apply to card transactions).

Liability Waivers also must be signed by the renter at the time of storage.

All items will remain in storage until at least mid-April. The exact removal date will be decided dependent on snow amounts received and ground conditions on the Fairgrounds.

Any general questions please contact Bruce at 320-760-0393 or post a comment or message.
