Fundraising progresses

The community effort to renovate Festival Halle in Reedville heated up on Friday, January 5, as members of the Save Festival Halle Committee marked progress towards the $750,000 goal. To date, $285,000 has been raised for structural repairs to the floor, upgrades to the kitchen, landscaping and interior updates in order to again make the former school a community gathering space.
