Policy of the State Fairgrounds! Any stalls that have silicone, liquid nails etc on them will be charged a clean-up fee of $100 per stall.  These materials are next to impossible or impossible to remove without compromising the surface of the concrete (sand blasting.)  Use of these damaging materials will be considered vandalism.
