(KMZA)--The Kansas Fur Harvesters Association will hold its annual convention this fall in Seneca.

District 5 director Jim Buser informed the Nemaha County Commission Monday that the organization has selected Seneca for its 45th annual convention, which will take place October 5th-7th at the Nemaha County Fairgrounds. 

The group previously held their annual convention in Seneca in 2015.

Buser asked the Commission for permission to use the recycling building on the  fairgrounds and the lean-to near the county shop.  The group will also use the community building.

In addition, Buser spoke with Commissioners about adding some outlets on the outside of some of the buildings so people can plug their campers in and stay on the fairgrounds during the weekend event.

Commissioners agreed to the requests.

Buser said that he expects between 1,000 to 2,000 people to attend.

In other business, the Commission approved the appropriation of $30,000 from the Broxterman Estate funds to  Nemaha County Fire District #6 for the construction of an addition to the current fire station in Centralia.

The city and fire department will also provide funding for the project, which is projected to cost nearly $108,000.

Representatives of the Fire District told Commissioners that the building currently used to house an ambulance in Centralia has been sold and the it will have to be moved to another location.

They suggested adding a 50 by 60 foot addition to the current fire station in order to free up space for the ambulance.
