Ag Society reports mainly good year despite challenges
Despite some reduced sponsorship funding due to a sluggish economy, the Battlefords Agricultural Society is reporting a mainly good year for 2018.
The society held its annual general meeting on Dec. 12, covering the fiscal year running from Oct. 1, 2017 to Sept. 30, 2018.
General Manager Jocelyn Ritchie said sponsorship dollars in particular were down unfortunately.
“It was a rough year for us, to be honest,” she said, adding that the downturn in the economy this past year had an impact.
