Another fair has come and gone, leaving behind acres of tramped parking lot and empty grounds. However, there is something left behind besides memories; the fair generated six figures in funds that will benefit a host of local charities. Through entry fees; money from purchasing pancake and sausage plates, and other things like booth rental fees, the incoming profit annually can reach into the hundreds of thousands, according to the Statesboro Kiwanis Club’s website, www.statesboro.kiwanisone.org. ”We give it away,” said Statesboro Kiwanis Club President Alex Grovenstein.
