174.2 POWERS OF A FAIR. A fair may annually conduct a fair event to further interest in agriculture and to encourage the improvement of agricultural commodities and products, livestock, articles of domestic industry, implements, and other mechanical devices. It may offer and award such premiums as will induce general competition. In addition to the powers granted in this chapter, a fair shall have the powers of a corporation not for pecuniary profit under the laws of this state and those powers enumerated in its articles of incorporation, such powers to be exercised before and after the holding of a fair event. No salary or compensation of any kind shall be paid to the president, vice president, treasurer, or to a director of the fair for such duties. However, the president, vice president, treasurer, or a director of the fair may be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred by carrying out duties under this chapter or chapter 173, including, but not limited to attending the convention provided under section 173.2. A person claiming expenses under this paragraph shall be reimbursed to the same extent that a state employee is entitled to be reimbursed for expenses.          Section History: Early Form [R60, § 1697; C73, § 1109; C97, § 1658; S13, § 1658; C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, § 2895; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, § 174.2]          Section History: Recent Form 91 Acts, ch 248, §9; 2004 Acts, ch 1019, §9; 2007 Acts, ch 126, §39 Nonprofit corporations, see chapter 504
