Wal-Mart of Washington recently made a $1,000 donation to the Washington County Fairgrounds Building Committee. This is the second donation from Wal-Mart bringing their total donation to $2,500.
Brian Krieger, store manager for Washington Wal-Mart stated, “It is important for local businesses to support projects that help our youth.” Krieger added, “This building will be used by youth in many ways. The growth of a community comes from positive development of our youth.”
The Washington County Fairgrounds Building Committee continues to make significant progress toward their goal. The multi-use facility serves as a valuable resource to the entire area and provides much needed improvements to the county fairgrounds.
For more information on the Fairground Building project, to make a contribution, or for meeting room reservations please contact the Washington County Extension Office at 319/653-4811.
