Now that the front of the Winamac Town Park has new restrooms, attention is once again turning to the restrooms in the fairgrounds. The Winamac Park Board recently agreed to let Northern Indiana Power from the Past apply for grant funding.
Power show president John Crist said the plan is to renovate the existing restrooms, if possible, and make them ADA-compliant. “That ramp’s going to take some engineering there, to get that to a level that a wheelchair can go up,” Crist explained. “I think they said at least one landing, if not two.”
Those restrooms are generally the responsibility of the Pulaski County 4-H Fair Board and Northern Indiana Power from the Past, but the fairgrounds are technically Town Park property. Crist said the fair board had already given its permission.
In other business, Park Board President Jon Chapman acknowledged donations from a number of local organizations. That included $500 from the fair board and $200 in community foundation funding allocated by the Franklin Farmers 4-H Club for the new curbs at the fairground entrance.
The town’s volleyball league gave $500 for pickleball upgrades, and the town’s pickleball players gave $242 for the Recreation Fund.
