Summary: <p>The Jefferson Exchange: January 3, 2014, Hour 1B:</p><p>hings are looking up, at least a little, for the <a href="http://www.co.josephine.or.us/sectionindex.asp?sectionid=146" target="_blank"><strong>Josephine County Fairgrounds.</strong></a> Commissioners decided months ago that the fairgrounds had to be self-sustaining, because the cash-strapped county could not afford to support them. Since then, a drive to bring in donations to preserve the fairgrounds and the 2014 County Fair worked well enough to convince commissioners to keep everything as-is for now. That includes allowing the fair to be held. Commissioner Simon Hare explains what has happened so far, and what happens from here. </p>
