The Aggieland Lamb and Goat Camp's presence in the Brazos County Expo Center has a ripple effect on the local economy, with over 70% of attendees being first-time campers from across Texas. The camp's three-day duration translates to significant spending in local hotels and restaurants, with estimates suggesting a total economic boost of around $550,000. This influx of visitors also highlights the importance of the Expo Center as a hub for community events and activities.
