The Blaine County Fair Board is pleased to announce that a new, nonprofit foundation has been established to help support the Blaine County Fair and the Blaine County Fairgrounds.
The new nonprofit organization is called the Blaine County Fair Foundation. Dale Williams is the 2017 Foundation President. Laura Kleinjan serves as the Secretary/Treasurer.
Donations to the Blaine County Fair Foundation are TAX DEDUCTIBLE. This is one of the main reasons that this Foundation was established. Many people in the community have supported and expressed interest in supporting the fair and the fairgrounds, but wanted a way for their contributions to be tax deductible.
One of the major projects for which the Foundation is already actively fundraising is the construction of a new Indoor Arena at the fairgrounds! The fair board already owns most of the main structural components of this huge, 100 foot long arena building; however, significant funding still needs to be raised for such things as the footings and actual construction of the building as well as some of the parts that are still needed, such as doors.
(Many thanks to Glenn Huestis for working to get the main components of the building donated to the county by Malmstrom Air Force base a few years ago!)
The Fair Foundation will also be free to support other needed projects to enhance the fair and the fairgrounds as well.
Would YOU like to donate to the Foundation? Do you know of grants or other opportunities that may be of interest to the Foundation board? Would you like to volunteer to help with Foundation projects? If so, please contact blainecountyfairfoundation@gmail.com or info@blainecountyfair.net
