A few busy days at the Fairgrounds

Here is what we have accomplished or has happened on the fairgrounds in the last few days ... Thursday night we had a work night, about 12 fair board members and volunteers came to work. We are working on building a new cover over our water main, removing the plastic from the open barns, mowing grass, racking the longer cut grass, hanging new building signs, putting up new wall covering in another wing of the 4H building and building more

picnic tables. After our work nights are done, we feed our volunteers. So while many volunteers are working outside someone is inside slaving over a stove or a grill. This Thursday night, we had hot dogs, macaroni salad, beans and cherry cheese cake! On a Friday there was more mowing, meeting with the wedding reception hosts, weed whacking, removing plastic on the barns and work in the 4H building. On Saturday there was a wedding

reception in the Festival building and a 4H horse show in the 4H arena. The new sign was erected on Fair Street and 15A. On Sunday there was cleaning of the operations room in the office and rearranging the kitchen. Monday was a productive day for several volunteers, mowing was accomplished, we pitch forked up piles of the long cut grass, more work in the 4H building, put away the braces and plastic taken off the barns.

This Farmall Tractor is one of the workhorses of the fairgrounds! It is older than some of our fair board members! Tomorrow is another work night, there is plenty to do before the start of the fair! If you are interested in helping, stop on down!
