We are missing 15 white tables that say Sandhills Ranch Expo on the side from a building at the fairgrounds. We are needing them for a community event coming up soon if anyone knows where they might be or if you borrowed them. Thank you!

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Attention: To the person who took off with the flags from the Sandhills Ranch Expo (including the “Sandhills Ranch Expo flag” and the cotton candy flag) we have surveillance footage of you walking away with them. If you go ahead and bring those back to the entrance of the grandstands at the fairgrounds by the end of the week, there will be no questions asked. If not, you will get a knock on your door with further consequences! ⚠️⚠️⚠️
