Project Overview

Our legacy project involves two parts. First portion would go to the purchase of four iPads for our Fine Arts/Photography and Agriculture/Horticulture Departments. They would be used for our open class departments for registration, judging, and placements. The second portion would go towards the sound proofing of our Township Square Stage. This is an outdoor performance stage that is used by many varieties of performers: bands, magicians, jugglers, balloon artists, competitions, etc.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Township square acoustic proofing will impact roughly 20 different performing acts this year and provide a better sound experience to roughly 40,000 fairgoers who pass through during the week. , , iPads will benefit roughly over 200 open class exhibitors. We will be able to measure this through the iPad entries for exhibits.
