WMSTR Receives Grant Money

That is great. So did is this something we signed up or applied for or did they just pick WMSTR?
 
Hopefully before this years show? Don't let the bureaucracy slow down improvements on the showgrounds!

Wow that's great! Is there any more info on this? Did we have to apply for it?

The Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation gave Gary Muhl a "Heads-Up" about this and someone wrote up the application for it. I just can't remember who... Maybe it was Lori Jury?

In any case, it was our involvement with the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation because of the WMSTR Endowment Fund that made all of this possible.

I understand there is a lot more of this that could be possible in the future! :thumb:
 
Thanks for the reminder to keep an eye out for these types of things. Grants are a great way to get some of our projects accomplished. :)

Thanks to everyone who helped this one come through!
