The Eagle/Kim KellPrairie City resident Nancy Akers was all smiles, winning a quilt made by Viola Rose and Latrona Smith in a drawing held by the Grant County Heritage Foundation. The money raised will benefit the Grant County Fairgrounds PA system fund.

JOHN DAY – The Grant County Family Heritage Foundation raised $1,661 toward the Grant County Fairgrounds PA system with a quilt raffle.

Prairie City resident Nancy Akers’ name was drawn Oct. 14 as winner of the quilt made by Viola Rose and Latrona Smith of Quilts and Beyond in Prairie City. The tickets had been sold since last summer’s Grant County Fair.

Tinka Oliver, Foundation secretary-treasurer, said the foundation also supported rebuilding the wash racks at the fairgrounds for 4-H youth.

“We’re still a very active group, working for youth in agriculture,” she said.
