Find out plans for 4-H fairgrounds at Monday meeting in Sheridan

By STEVE MARTIN
Sheridan Historical Society

The Sheridan Historical Society will offer a special program for community members at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 14 about the pending upgrade, remodel, and expansion to take place at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville.

It was announced last spring that the county will commit several million dollars to the project. This author was fortunate enough to attend the county fair this year and had the good luck to run across the Purdue Extension display of what all is to take place, and when asked, the Purdue folks would be more than happy to take their displays and talking points on the road for a show and tell because not everybody has the opportunity to go to the county fair.

The Purdue Extension folks will be at the Sheridan Historical Society Museum next Monday evening, Aug. 14, at 7 p.m. The Museum is located at 315 S. Main St. in uptown Sheridan. If you are interested in what the new fairgrounds will look like after the makeover, you will appreciate this opportunity to listen to their talk, see the displays, and ask questions of the people knowledgeable about the 4-H Fairgrounds project. We hope you can attend.
