Two Projects Receive
Foundation Funding
The FCS Financial Rural Community and Agriculture
Foundation recently funded two rural Missouri
projects.
The Vernon County Youth Fair received $15,000
in October to assist with the construction of a new
Home Economics Building and Pavilion. The new
facility, expected to be complete in May 2019, will
be used for the Vernon County Youth Fair and the
seasonal Vernon County Farmer’s Market.
The building will promote agricultural growth
in the county and provide a large enough space
for community organizations to hold meetings,
fundraisers and community events. The 60’ x 80’
multi-use, air-conditioned building will include a
galley-style kitchen and concession area, restrooms,
office space and an open area to accommodate civic
activities such as 4-H meetings, county wide FFA
chapter meetings, indoor exhibits for the Youth Fair
and a new location for the Farmer’s Market. The
attached 30’ x 60’ outdoor pavilion will provide ten
vendor spaces.
The new building enables the Farmer’s Market
to host more cooking demonstrations for the
community while promoting healthier meal choices.
