Donations continue to come in for construction of a new Muscatine County Fair event center.

Last week’s annual meeting of the Fair Board was attended by over 100 community members to hear how this year’s fair did and details and progress on the Event Center.

The meeting ended with the announcement of a $20,000 gift from the Deahr Family.

This week, Keith and Margaret Barnhart of Atalissa gifted $5,000 to the  Event Center for Technology Infrastructure in the Meeting Room.

The two gifts have pushed the total funds raised to over $980,000 towards their $2 million goal.

Anyone wanting to donate to the project or sponsor an area of the project can reach out to Kelsey Meyers at the Muscatine County Fair Office at 319-627-2414 or at muscatinecountyfair@gmail.com
