DALLAS – It may be hard to believe, but it’s already closing weekend for the State Fair of Texas.
The nonprofit organization not only brings a big economic impact to the area, but much of the money you spend at the fair goes right back into the community.
“We just received a new economic impact study based on last year’s State Fair, and it was estimated that up to $680 million is brought into our local economy through the State Fair of Texas,” said Karissa Condoianis, senior vice president of public relations for the State Fair of Texas.
Condoianis said the fair has a significant economic impact throughout the entire region of North Texas.
“Last year, we were able to give $15.8 million away through our philanthropic and fair park giving efforts,” Condoianis said. “We have many programs, as well as community giving here in South Dallas Fair Park to support other nonprofits. They’re doing great work to uplift our community.”
