ARCHERY BUILDING AND COURTYARD IMPROVEMENTS (CONTRACT)
Proposal Guarantee: $37,500
Completion Date: 7/15/2024
Current operations at the Fair have temporary facilities for the air rifle and archery demonstrations. This project will provide a permanent solution for this activity, making it safer, easier to access, and more enjoyable for everyone. While relocating this portion to the north side of the courtyard, the stage where presentations are delivered will have to be moved to the south-west corner of the courtyard. This move will provide accessibility to all and will also reduce noise from adjacent activities at the fair. The North end of the courtyard will also be renovated for better circulation, permeable pavers, and native plantings will be installed.
