Editor,
The Lake County Fairgrounds in Ronan will be the site of a horse exposition and an auction on May 5. These events are being presented by Friends of the Fairgrounds and are intended to introduce the community to the renovated arena and grandstand area and to raise funds to help retire the remaining $18,000 debt that was incurred in completing this project. The arena will be a better venue for varied community and agricultural events, while the public will not be put at risk by sitting on bleachers that might collapse under their weight.
Ken Snyder, owner of the Valley Club, generously volunteered to organize the auction event and has solicited donations from local businesses and individuals. If you have new or serviceable used equipment or items that you have thought of getting rid of, but have never able to bring yourself to part with, then please consider donating the items to the auction. Receipts for the estimated value of the donated item(s) will be provided for tax purposes and all donations will be picked up by Ken, his representatives, or Friends of the Fairgrounds. All monies made during this event will go toward retiring the debt after expenses for the auction and exposition have been paid. Please contact Ken at 261-1759 or 676-9441 if you would like to donate an item to be auctioned.
Friends of the Fairgrounds was organized in an effort to promote the use of the fairgrounds, to improve the physical environment of the fairgrounds, and to bring entertainment and business to our community. Friends of the Fairgrounds are all volunteers and we welcome suggestions or ideas for the fairgrounds. We hope to see you on May 5, and be sure to bring the whole family.
