(KAIR)--With summer just over a month away, steps are being taken in Jefferson County to be ready for the annual 4-H County Fair.
According to the unofficial minutes of Monday- meeting of the Jefferson County Commission, 4-H Fair Board representative, Tom Welsh, appeared before the Commissioners, updating them on what the minutes call “concerns and activities by the Fair Board.” During his presentation, Welsh discussed the water line, internet capabilities, building upkeep, and other aspects, reporting that a new sound system is being purchased with memorial money. Additionally, he discussed a recently donated lot, located on the southeast corner of the fairgrounds, that has bad drainage. The plan is to fill the lot with dirt then grade and slope it to make it usable.
According to Welsh, a sewer blockage has been located, with the Fair Board requesting the County's assistance to help pay the price tag. Two options are proposed: one is to dig down, put a clean-out in, and bore through to clear the blockage, with that proposal estimated to cost $1,500. The other option, if the first fails, would be to dig and redo the line where the blockage is located for an additional cost of $2,000. Once Welsh completed his presentation, including a request for the placement of rock on the 4-H Fairground drives, the Commission unanimously approved the request for sewer line assistance, allocating $3,500 for that purpose.
