Improvements to the Livestock Exhibition Barn, commonly called the Champion Barn, were showcased at Thursday's Senior Fair Board meeting, which was held in the barn as it continues to receive a facelift.
The board also learned of more than $15,000 being donated for the support of harness racing.
With the improvements, the facility will now be able to be an additional revenue source for the fairgrounds. Improvements include a heating system, new lighting along with many other cosmetic changes.
The barn will be able to serve as a rental, similar to the Junior Fair Building for a variety of events for the public. There is often competition for rooms to rent on the fairgrounds as birthday parties, wedding receptions, flea markets and other sales often are looking for venues. With the improvements made to this barn, it will now offer a year-round room with a large capacity to host many events.
