In may as a part of a stake service project a couple of wards in the area including my ward were in charge of cleaning up and doing some maintenance on the fairgrounds. Every year there is a county fair held there and the place was in need of much work. There was about 100+ volunteers there to help. Everyone had different projects going, mowing the lawns, painting, putting ribbons on the stuff entered in the fair etc. It was so neat to see how many people showed up and the results were amazing, we worked from 8 to 12:30 and so much work got done in such a short time. The fairgrounds people were so happy , they said
" We usually pay for a bus load of prisoners to come and get the fairgrounds ready for the fair but you guys work better and faster" I was glad to hear that was the case.
