Renaming the LP

The Livestock Pavilion on the Agricultural Society grounds has undergone a makeover, and now it’s time to come up with a new name, says acting President Brad Walls.
“We did a bunch of work on the Livestock Pavilion, obviously the name doesn’t fit what it is now so we have a bit of an internal competition going on with our membership to submit names for what it should be called,” said Walls.
The Ag Society has a joint use agreement with the Strathmore and District Christmas Hamper Society, which also put funds into the renovation project.
“We decided that we would make this more of a rentable space that people would use for weddings or birthdays are anniversary’s type deal,” said Walls.
The facility is open to anyone wishing to rent it.
The naming competition is open to Ag society members, and will remain open until Feb. 1. Walls said it’s a great way to get members reengaged with the society, and brings back the feeling of being part of a team. There will be advertising in the monthly newsletter sent out.
Anyone can become a member by calling the Ag society office, filling out a membership form and paying a fee.
