Clearfield Aquatic Club to end booth at county fair
Our Readers Write to the editor. Due to rising costs including lot rental and liability insurance, the Clearfield Aquatic Club will not open its booth at the Clearfield County Fair. The Swim Team booth, once a key nonprofit fundraiser, has seen a drastic decline in proceeds and a major equipment failure last year made continued operation untenable. The club thanks supporters and urges continued backing of Clearfield Swimming as it seeks new fundraising means for the community pool, YMCA and high school swim teams.
