Don’t tear down the 4-H county fair building

   The Cass County Fair Board’s plan to tear down the 4-H county fair building because there is a hole in the roof and a beam is beginning to rot is like cutting off your head because you have a toothache. A new roof should be a minor problem in today’s world.

   Tearing down the building just to put up a new shiny building on the same foundation would rip the heart and memories of all the 4-H young people who learned how to work with all kinds of people in all kinds of conditions in that building. Learning how to deal with life is learned in 4-H activities.

   These “hands on lessons” become the background of America.

   Please reconsider your plan. Fix the roof!
