Changes needed to be made to reduce the chance of accidents with livestock and the general public, said Kerr. During the 4-H and FFA livestock show, cattle are lead some distance from the bams to the existing Youth Show Arena. The current facilities for sheep and swine are limited which restricted the number of youth able to participate in the programs. With the new facility, adequate space will be available for all the market livestock shows and ample room for participants and buyers during the livestock sale. Some other use of the new dear-span arena include indoor horse and pony shows, sports shows, tourism shows, machinery and industrial trade shows, and many educational programs. The committee plans the complex to be as versatile as possible within their budget restrictions. Bruce Stainbrook, Meadville, fundraising chairman, reports that to date money and pledges total $70,000 with additional in-kind contributions including grading, trucking, gravel, and cement already promised. Many businesses are making their contributions through the advertising signs that will be used around the arena, said Rose. Each sign will be at least one 4-foot by 8-foot piece of plywood that has been painted by specified artists. Businesses must contract for at least a five-year period at $lOO per year plus fees for the materials and labor to paint the signs. Rose hopes that most of the agricultural businesses and organizations sup port the project in this way. Any individual or business that wishes to contribute to the project should send contributions to Crawford County Livestock Building Fund, Fred Wagner, trea surer, Courthouse, Meadville, PA 16335.
