Fundraising for what is now being Phase I of the grandstand replacement project, was given a significant shot in the arm today as Richardson Pioneer made a $50,000 donation.听
鈥淎t Richardson we like to contribute back to the communities we are in,鈥� said Brent Woloshyn, Director of Operations, Pioneer, adding the grandstand is 鈥渁 project that will benefit the community for many years to come.鈥澨�
Barb Woytas with the Yorkton Exhibition Association said the project, with a cost of about $730,000 has been a success because of the financial support of the community, which has been so positive they were able to add some lighting and other small enhancements to the project.听
And, a Phase II will add some chain link fencing, landscaping and other features.听
In the meantime, the first event in front of the Legacy Co-op Grandstand will be the Eastern Professional Chariot & Chuckwagon Association races this weekend.听
鈥淲e can鈥檛 wait to get our friends and families together,鈥� said Woytas.听
