Topic: how Rotary can help revive the Pig Iron Fest.
Background: Rivertownes and Marietta Restoration initiated and ran the Pig Iron Fest from 2004 to 2013- largely through the efforts of Lenny Droege. Lenny passed the baton off to a new chair but the event fell through and not is in jeopardy. Donegal Rotary has an opportunity to assist and revive this important community event. MRA is the custodian of the fest site and both Rivertownes and MRA are interested in keeping this going. A portion of the proceeds need to go back into the historic restoration projects that MRA is the custodian for through Lancaster County Parks.
This is an excellent opportunity for a district matching grant.
