Richmond Community Pavilion: A dream in the making
In 2018, following Richmond‘s 200th Anniversary Celebration, a group of volunteers formed the Richmond Community Legacy Association (RCLA). With the generous support of community sponsorships and donations, the event was a great success resulting in surplus funds.
It was important for the volunteers that this money be used toward a project that the Richmond Community could enjoy. The team spent many months gathering ideas and later met with the Richmond Agricultural Society (RAS) to discuss possible options. The meeting resulted in a joint venture between the two organizations and the Richmond Community Legacy Pavilion project was born.
The RAS agreed to match the available seed money already available and provide the land within the Richmond fairgrounds to construct the Pavilion. It was also agreed that the management of the Pavilion would remain under RAS responsibility in order to coordinate activities to be held in the future Richmond Community Legacy Pavilion.
This project is a unique opportunity for businesses in Richmond and surrounding areas to participate and be recognized for their support. This can be accomplished by purchasing a plaque which will be engraved with the business name and placed on the Richmond Pavilion walls or through financial or in-kind donations in a business recognition platform.
This project is a key improvement to the community and offers the opportunity to have your business profiled.
