County board passes lease, accepts purchase, amends hazardous waste drop-off days
St. James Plaindealer
At Tuesday’s Watonwan County Board meeting, the board passed an amended lease for the Watonwan County Fairgrounds, accepted a purchase from the DNR, and discussed household hazardous waste dropoff days.
The first item of business for the Watonwan County Board was a fairground lease for the National Micro-Mini Tractor Pullers Association (NMMTPA) super pull, scheduled to take place at the fairgrounds.
The county charges the NMMTPA $85 for insurance, and $100 a day for the two-day event which features three pulls.
Ed Connell with the NMMTPA requested that the board waive the daily fee for one of the days. The last time the NMMTPA super pull was held at the fairgrounds was five years ago, and the board and the NMMTPA agreed to the same terms in 2016.
