What's been happening at the Fairgrounds
Today
the Barn Roof has a brand new RED roof. There is also repairs made
to the floor in the barn in a stall where the Alpaca's will be stabled.
You will see that a portion of the barn wall on the front side had to be
repaired so the water would not enter and ruin the floor again.
There is so much more to be repaired on this beautiful old barn.
The siding is being chewed away by squirrels, windows are all broken,
the third level floor will need redoing, etc and then a good paint job. The
"Old MacDonald's Barn" is THREE stories and full of potential.
A cattle barn that had been threatening to topple has been straightened up and secured
The WWF Construction Crew also repaired the back end of the Dance Hall. The stage area and where the bathrooms were had been sinking over the years. They straightened it up and put new posts and footings and replaced posts under the dance hall to level the floor. The section where the bathrooms were is now a small kitchen which has become an added benefit for the dances and to anyone wanting to rent the Dance Hall.
There is also a new (2008) bathroom with shower stalls.
Straightened the cattle barn, started clearing some grown up weeds,
weeded some gardens and added plants (need ALOT more) etc.
Some improvements on the short and long range list are:
Painting the Barns and buildings, cattle barn needs some posts replaced, 3 acres of land needs to be cleared and flattened, building a museum just to name a few. Some more volunteers, sponsors and members to help pull this off.
