Replacement grandstand possible for the Harrison County Fairgrounds...
Last night the HC commissioners moved to send a request of $600,000 on to the county council. Karla Klunie of the Harrison County Fair board presented the request which provide one third of the funding to purchase a used grandstand to replace the one at the Harrison County Fairgrounds.
The used grandstand is in Memphis and has only been used 10 times. It is larger than the current HC grandstand with a capacity of 5,000. Total cost of the project is $1.8 million. The state of Indiana is willing to fund one third and the Harrison County Community Foundation has also committed to the final third.
