Wheat Land fair receives $1,000

RITZVILLE - The Wheat Land Communities' Fair received $1,000 through a Rural Community Grant from Northwest Farm Credit Services this week. The check was officially presented Monday.

Lori Williams, a Wheat Land Communities' Fair board member, said funds will be used for maintenance of trees on the fairgrounds.

"We truly appreciate Northwest FCS' commitment to reinvest in our communities," Williams said.

"The grant funds received will allow for much needed tree maintenance of our amphitheater area, a landmark of our town and a gathering place for our community members.

"Thank you for your generous contribution towards this effort."

According to the Northwest Farm Credit Services website, the grant program "provides funds for projects that improve a community's infrastructure, viability and/or prosperity."
