VAN WERT — The Van Wert County Agricultural Society was awarded two grants totaling $36,750. The grants were given by the Van Wert County Foundation from the John D. and Nellie S. Ault Memorial Fund.
“At the Van Wert County Fairgrounds, we have a list of projects that will enhance our patrons’ experience that we would like to see come to fruition,” said Mike Poling, Van Wert County Fair Secretary and Fair Manager in a recent press release.
Poling also said $20,000 from the funds will be used to update the restrooms in the Junior Fair building.
“Without the generosity of the Van Wert County Foundation and our other donors, completing projects like this one would be difficult,” added Poling. “Especially with the rising costs of materials.”
