Cheyenne Co commission weighs grandstand fix for fairgrounds
Cheyenne County commissioners will review options Monday to replace or shore up the old fairgrounds grandstand after a March blizzard damaged the roof and structure. Budget constraints push to balance seating with cost, insurance estimates total about 24 000 while cleanup and electrical repairs run tens of thousands. A 1500 seat roofed grandstand costs around 48000 and a 2000 seat version about 64000. A plan to use the old stands for four more years is under debate while a funding fund is considered. Other items include a home health care study committee and a conditional use permit for McKay Farms hog operation near Sidney amid neighborhood fly concerns.
