Immediately following the ribbon
cutting for the 89th Annual Logan County Fair on Tuesday morning,
another very special event took place.
Fair board members Rod Conklin, Herman Schwantz, Nathaniel Gieske
Kevin Kurtz and Clay Irwin were joined by Fair Foundation Board
Member Tom Martin, Logan County royalty Miss Logan County Fair Abbie
Arnold, Junior Miss Sophia Goodman and Little Miss Olivia Harmsen
and John Stremsterfer of the Community Foundation for the Land of
Lincoln
Stremsterfer was on hand to deliver
a check from the foundation to the Logan County Fair Foundation. On
behalf of fair representatives, the check was accepted by the queen
and her cohorts.
Stremsterfer said that this is the 100th year of the foundation and
in celebration they chose to award grants to several communities and
organizations with the Logan County Fair Foundation being one such
grant recipient.
Fair Board member Clay Irwin
explained that the money was being given to the fair foundation
which provides the money for improvements to the physical
fairgrounds. He said the money given by the Community Foundation
would go toward planned work on the grandstand. He noted that there
was going to be improvements to the ramps for Americans with
Disabilities Act compliant access and there are also plans for new
metal bleachers.
