Smith County Free Fair Donation

Jul 13, 2023


Midway Coop announced today a $5,000 grant to The Smith County Free Fair. The funds will support the reconstruction and stabilizing of the current barns at the fairgrounds.
 
“We’re proud to support this project,” says Midway Coop General Manager, Craig Mans. “Projects like this are essential to enriching our rural area and the people who live here.  Agriculture is the main economic driver in Smith County, and we are proud to double our donation by working with our regional cooperative, CHS.”
 
In addition to the funds contributed by Midway Coop, the contribution will be matched dollar for dollar by a CHS Seeds for Stewardship grant, which helps cooperatives grow their impact locally. Together more than $10,000 will benefit The Smith County Free Fair.
