Volunteers Build Richmond Fair Barn
Volunteers from the Central Heights FFA chapter led a three day effort to raise and roof a new pole barn for the Richmond Free Fair. The project used only volunteer labor with fair association supplying materials costing about 3000 dollars and could have cost another 3000 if hired. The BOAC project goal drives future chapter plans as Garnett FFA members and fair staff helped finish the structure and discuss adding a wash rack.
