Dixie Gas & Oil Corporation is supporting the Augusta County Fair through BP’s Fueling Communities Program with a grant donation of $1,000.
The grant will help the Augusta County Fair purchase a livestock scale to be used for fair events and for agricultural groups like the Augusta County 4-H & ffa Market Animal Show. The Augusta County Fair continues to help bring the community together to show off the habits, talents, and traditions.
Ellen Shaver Shank, Marketing Director of the Augusta County Fair expressed her appreciation to the bp Fueling Communities Program. “Thanks to the grant, the Augusta County Fair will now have a new set of scales to help with the weigh-in for the animals of the 4-H and ffa members at the fair. This is just another great support that the community continues to give to make the fair a success for the residents of the area. Fair dates are August 5 – 9, 2014.”
