News Release – Bathroom Renovation Complete

A floor to ceiling renovation of the men’s and women’s bathrooms in the Commercial Building at the Fillmore County Fairgrounds is complete! The $25,000 project includes all new plumbing fixtures, new dividers, and a reconfiguration to the stalls to allow for handicapped accessibility. The rearrangement of stalls allows for 4 stalls in the women’s bathroom with two sinks; and 2 stalls, 2 urinals and a sink in the men’s bathroom. New features include hot water in the sinks! Also new are changing tables in each bathroom and a water bottle filler for fairgoers to help reduce plastic waste at the County fair. The floor to ceiling means new waterproof pvc ceiling tiles with LED lighting as well as newly painted walls and floor.

The project has been financed by grants from the Preston Area Community Foundation, the Olmsted Medical Center’s Community Investment Program, and MiEnergy’s Operation Round Up Program. Funds from the America’s Farmers Grow Communities – Bayer Fund grant were also used to help bring this project to fruition with final costs being covered by the Fillmore County Agricultural Society.
