GALLIPOLIS The Gallia County Fair Board launched a new fundraiser on Wednesday to purchase new pig pens.
Newly-elected board member Amy Johnson said the project was launched with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio at www.causeconnector.org. Johnson said the board is looking to raise $5,000 for pig pen panels, which can be moved to a new fair grounds location in the future.
When someone makes a donation on Cause Connector, half of the gift will go to the selected project and the other half will support the foundation’s I’m a Child of Appalachia Fund to provide funds for future projects and scholarships.
