Butch Cassidy Days

Construction

2008-09-19T19:36:00.001-07:00

Each year, the Butch Cassidy Days committee tries to make improvements

to the Fairgrounds. This year, with the help of the Special Service District,

County Commissioners, Town of Junction, Robert Lott - General Contractor,

and a long list of volunteers, we were able to replace the old concession

stand with a brand new, top of the line building with all the trimmings.

The Piute County Road Department removes the old building to relocate it

at another place in the arena.

Morrill Brothers Construction completes the footers and the concrete

pad that will become the floor of the building.

Paul Garvey, Junction Town Maintenance covers the leach lines while

Robert Lott, keeps an eye on the fill.

Robert Lott, Roger Zingelman and Stan complete the framing

process and begin putting the trusses in place.

Job Well Done. The completed building is a success and there was

a long, continuous line during arena events.
