EMBARRASS- A community input meeting to discuss proposed renovations to the Timber Hall Event Center will be held on Thursday, June 27 at 6 p.m. at the event center. The Embarrass Region Fair Association will be presenting options for the facility and hearing opinions from the public about the building’s future.
The association was awarded $1.5 million from the 2023 state bonding bill to pay for updating the building and ensuring it is structurally sound and sustainable. Event center plans were drawn up by Virginia firm DSGW Architecture.
Currently, there are no plans to update other buildings on the event center campus – such as the cold storage sheds and horse arena – as part of the renovations.
The second half of Thursday’s meeting will concern the Embarrass region’s participation in the Empowering Small Minnesota Communities study conducted through the University of Minnesota.
If community members can not attend Thursday’s meeting but want to learn more, they can email the ERFA at info@embarrassrfa.org.
