Three Businesses Working Together on an August Event at the Litchfield Airport

Three Litchfield businesses are working together on an event which will be held at the Litchfield Airport on August 9th. There will be a fly-in breakfast, car show and business and job expo.

Litchfield Mayor Ron Dingmann says representatives of Farm Bureau, Napa and Miller Automotive spoke to the Council on Monday evening about the event. He says the Council members gave the event their approval, and the administration will work with them on the airport logistics. The Litchfield Lions Club used to host an August fly-in breakfast each summer.

Mayor Dingmann says the Council approved of 3 items from the Historic Preservation Commission including a siding repair project for Trinity Episcopal Church at 3 East 4th Street, the replacement of the staircase behind the Masons’ building 242 North Sibley Avenue, and a signage repair project for Sarah Smith at 113 North Sibley Avenue – the former Cricket Meadow Tea building.

Mayor Dingmann says the Council approved of the purchase of turn-out gear for the Fire Dept. for $120,630 from Heiman Fire Equipment. He says the Council agreed to put the $10-million general obligation bonds in a fund which will earn interest until the money is needed for the Litchfield Area Recreation Center and for the floor project at the Civic Arena.

Mayor Dingmann says the Litchfield City Council will be meeting next on Tuesday, February 18th due to the Presidents Day holiday on February 17th.
