(KNZA)-- Improvements are planned at the Nemaha County Fairgrounds in Seneca.

Neal Haverkamp with the county Fair Board informed the Nemaha County Commission last week that the current horse barn has been sold and moved off the property.

He said they are currently working to prepare the site for construction of a new horse barn.

Haverkamp said the Fair Board has set up funds with the Sabetha Community Foundation and the Seneca Step Foundation, and are accepting donations at this time for fairground improvements.

In addition, he let Commissioners know they are applying for a grant in order to replace the bleachers for the rodeo.

In other business, the Commission accepted the resignation of Lane Hanzlicek as the Wetmore Township treasurer and on the recommendation of township officials approved the appointment of Ron Burdiek to the position
