United Prairie Insurance of Mountain Lake and Windom encourages local community members to enter the Fairground Facelift grant contest sponsored by Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company.
Grinnell Mutual is seeking submissions for projects across the Midwest that will improve local fairgrounds. Grinnell Mutual is offering Fairground Facelift grants totaling $3,500 to three county fairgrounds in order to make a lasting impact for the fairground and the people who use it.
Grinnell Mutual will accept project submissions on its Front Porch Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/GrinnellMutualFrontPorch, through Wednesday, April 30. Projects must have (or affiliate with) a county fairground and be located in one of 12 states in which Grinnell Mutual does business: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Wisconsin. State fairground projects will not be accepted.
Beginning on Tuesday, May 13, the public can vote on Grinnell Mutual’s Front Porch Facebook page for their favorite project to win a Fairground Facelift grant. Grinnell Mutual will announce the finalists that day, and any Facebook fan can vote on project finalists to receive grants. Voting ends Tuesday, May 27. The three finalists with the most votes will receive $2,000, $1,000, and $500, respectively.
