An open house next weekend will highlight the renovations made to the old school house building on the Washington County Fairgrounds. The Green Acres 4-H Club collaborated with volunteers last fall to apply new paint to the interior of the building.The old school sits on the county fairgrounds and is a combination of two county schools that were moved there several years ago. An open house is scheduled for April 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Washington County Fairgrounds during the 4-H County Council Open Cattle Show.

The Washington County Cattlemen will be grilling hamburgers and the 4-H County Council will be on hand to serve walking tacos and baked goods. The profits from the food stand will be used for continued updates to the school.

For more information about the old school open house or the 4-H County Council Open Cattle Show contact Amy Green at the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811.
