A big thank you to: Howard Swenson Family, Swine Vet Clinic, Wakefield Pork, Nicollet County Pork Producers, Nicollet Lions Club, Peters Pork Farm Inc., Bill McCabe, Ken and Patsy Rossow, and, Jeff and Ann Volk. We have two verbal commitments on the way soon too. Our total to date is: $19,770. Thank you to these wonderful donors for their support in helping us reach this $25,000 match. On the home stretch for Friday. We report to them after the May 1 deadline. Still time to donate, as we can pick it up or drop off at Hometown Bank.

Exciting news! The Nicollet County Ag Society (fair board) received a $25,000 matching grant for the hog barn and show arena project. We are over half way already.
