In an announcement on Facebook, fairground officials said they have an RV park with restrooms, full hookups and a dog park. “We will work with you and we have space. We have a very caring community that will do what they can for you,” the Facebook post reads. Tasha Hyder, the executive director for the Clay County Fair and RV Park, said the fairgrounds is waiving some of the usual fees and will work individually with those coming from hurricane-impacted areas about how long they can stay. The park had 50 spots available as of Saturday, Hyder said, adding that she was overwhelmed by the images from Southwest Florida and they just wanted to do what they could to help. The RV park is a pet-friendly space that includes a 30 and 50 amp hook-up with water and sewer connection, a small dog park, dog washes, and Wi-Fi on site.
