GREENVILLE—The Darke County Agricultural Society Board of Directors met Wednesday evening to discuss its new members and elect board officers.
During Director Reports, Heidi May shared that she did not have to replace scales. Christoph Keller found someone to fix the scale for $120.
Marla Werner made a motion to use the money they saved on fixing the scales instead of replacing them towards new chairs for the board members. The motion to spend $2,000 on new chairs for the board members passed with a no vote from Dave Singer, James Zumbrink, and Craig Bowman.
Also during Director Reports, Dean Neff discussed the upcoming Firearm Raffle with MM Defense. A Savage 110 Hog Hunter, Mossberg 835, Palmetto State Armory Admiral 1911, Smith and Wesson Shield E-Z, or Glock 43X for $20 a ticket. A Traditions Pursuit G4.50 or Cali Muzzleloader for $10 a ticket. Purchases of one of those tickets make you eligible to purchase a $20 ticket for a DPMSD DR-15.
“We are doing 75 tickets per gun,” Neff said. “They’ll be able to buy the tickets here at the Fair Office and MM Defense. They’ll be able to go over to MM Defense to look at the guns.”
