Mormon Helping Hands at the Amador County Fair

119 volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fanned out Saturday, May 8 across the Amador County Fairgrounds to help spruce up what has been neglected due to the California budget crisis.

Crews wearing yellow “Mormon Helping Hands” vests rolled up their sleeves to help paint, repair and groom numerous sites on the Fairgrounds. Volunteers repaired the leaky roof and installed waterless urinals in the Spur Emporium, painted the Horse Barns, Windmill Restaurant, First Aid Building, Privy Restrooms, repaired gates to the Benny Brown Arena, raked debris and pulled weeds around the Floriculture Building.

“A wonderful opportunity to serve our local community” said Hack Severson, Chairman for the Jackson Ward, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mormon Helping Hands project. “Our members enjoyed giving back to the community and the Amador County Fair.” “And they had fun.”

“It’s amazing what was accomplished in just 8 hours,” said Robert Manassero, President of the Amador County Fair Board of Directors, “they helped us catch up on years of deferred maintenance that we were unable to get to due to budget cuts.”
